One of Vanuatu’s most established and respected cultivars, Borogoru represents the deep traditions of Espiritu Santo. This kava is known for its substantial character – developing slowly but with exceptional depth. The powder has a more robust character than lighter cultivars, with substantial texture reflecting its different composition. The powder’s scent features notes of fresh herbs, black pepper, and hints of bitter chocolate. This cultivar requires slow pace – it works slowly and steadily.
