Tradiční kava - Melo Melo

Mixing two tablespoons in warm water gave me that creamy, almost vanilla-ish bitterness I wasn't expecting from a kava. The mellowness creeps in slow and warm rather than hitting all at once, which is exactly what I wanted for winding down at night.

I was expecting the usual sharp bitterness, but this one lands much softer and almost sweet on the back end. The warmth creeps in slowly rather than hitting all at once, which is exactly what I wanted for winding down at night. Two shells in and the mellowness is real.

I was looking for something to gently wind down with after work, and this Melo Melo delivers that slow, warm mellowness I wanted. The balance of bitter and sweet is nice, and it definitely lives up to the "pleasant" part of the description.
