Nakamal At Home Dot Com's First Blog

Well, it's July 13, 2008 and we are finally publishing a kava blog.  We drink a lot of kava around here and sometimes our ambitions outweigh our motivation.Well, they always do, who am I kidding?

We have just received a beautiful shipment of kava from Papua New  Guinea. This kava was prepared for the Fijian market and came to us a little differently than we are used to. The lateral roots came to us in a rope like fashion that we have never seen before. This kava is a little lighter than what we normally get from PNG because the kava was peeled and soaked overnight which means less bark and a lighter kava beverage in the end. You will notice that the taste is a little less pungent than our normal PNG kava. The potency of this batch is on par with what we have been importing for years and we are sure our customers will like it. The customers at the kava bar have enjoyed it.

This is a photo of the kava from PNG being prepared for export to us. This is about 100 kilograms of lateral roots from the Madang region which is famous for its kava.  

Stay tuned for more kava blogs from Nakamal At Home dot com.
