Too distilled unfortunately. Real kava is made fresh, they grind the root, mix it with water and serve it cold. You can have it straight (which tastes exactly the way you would expect, like bitter dirt and water haha) with pineapples on the side to chase it, or you can get flavored kava which is pretty tasty, but not as strong :)

Ach! >.< That's what I feared. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem like any kava is grown locally. It's a shame, considering other Pacific countries have native supply. Bitter dirt and water is alright by me!
Howie found some ground kava online that has excellent ratings, he's ordering me a pound of it along with a neat little cup. I'll get the link, maybe you can get some too :)
If your letter without any questionable substance hasn't reached me yet, I don't know how long kava root would take to get here haha! Customs are a bit iffy about medicinal stuff.
