Silesse - the contemplative cultivar from Malekula
A guest post profiling the Malekula cultivar Silesse and one of its growers and custodians. Unlike most other kavas, Silesse is not known for being a “social” cultivar. Instead, many people find it to be powerfully introspective. If you enjoy drinking kava on your own, Silesse is a crucial addition to your solo kava repertoire.
