In this very special Christmas Episode, Nico and Shane were joined by Justin Lewis, founder of Turtle Hat Kava.
The conversation begins with a discussion and taste of Kava (History, Culture, and Myth). Justin explains what life is like on the islands that grow Kava and how different it is from the West. This comparison, ushers in an analysis of Western Culture and an examination of "what went wrong?" Everything from Social Engineering during the World Wars to the Normalization of Trauma in American Life are discussed.
Kava is an exotic drink from the South Pacific, starting it's cultural ascent in the United States. It's like a relaxing coffee; a coffee that calms. Justin's Organization imports Kava from small farms in the Pacific, most of whom he personally knows and regularly visits. These Kava Farmers use traditional methods of cultivation, no chemicals or pesticides. Turtle Hat Kava is the farmer's representative stateside.
