Borogoru Single Cultivar Instant Green Kava
One of the most popular kava cultivars in Vanuatu, Borogoru is prized for its balanced-heavy character and deeply relaxing effects. This mellow evening kava acts slowly and deeply, delivering gradual, complex, and prolonged relaxation—particularly valued by those seeking restful sleep or muscle-melting relief after physical exertion.
Borogoru Cultivar Profile:
- Balanced-heavy profile: Muscle-melting body effects with gradual cerebral relaxation—slower and deeper than heady varieties
- Slow onset, long duration: Effects build gradually over 30-45 minutes and last considerably longer than lighter cultivars
- Evening and night-time favourite: Best enjoyed in late afternoon or evening due to its sedating character
- Post-exercise recovery: Particularly popular for pleasant, muscle-melting body refreshment after strenuous physical effort
- Complex peppery character: Peppery and herbal with hints of sweetness; flavour combines spice with fresh, grassy notes and bitter chocolate
- 243516 chemotype: Higher dihydromethysticin content creates the characteristic heavy, sedating effects
