  • In this vlog we touring our tour guides family's suki farm. We get an inside on how it is planted, the process and when to harvest it. The farm also includes other veggies that are planted there.
    After touring the farm we head to the village to do our sevusevu and grog session at naita Meres house.
    During the grog session they show us the equipment on how to roll the suki and we get to try some local suki from there and we can say it gave the VUDE.

    Totally worth the "business trip" and finishing off with grog, suki, and lunch in Vuniqoru village, Nadroga sealing the suki deal. 🤝
    You guys were screwed the moment the big tea cup came out, no wonder "Johehe" wanted a carton of beer for wash down. 😂

    This was very interesting👍🏾 the village farm is really nice, all the produce growing so gooooooda 👍🏾their hospitality towards Navuti guys very nice people😊 thank you guys for taking us along on this tour, very educational about the Suki process👍🏾 here in PNG, my parents & grandparents & cousins all smoke Suki, we call it 'Brus' but we dont go through the extra process of rolling it up & weaving it as you all do, which is so interesting & cool. Here once the leaves are dried then we just smoke it 🤭 but thank you Mere & family for this educational tour👍🏾🙏🏾 Godbless you all. Safe trip back Navuti kings 😊❤

    Hello guys, yes it is a beautiful village and very clean and tidy. The villagers obvious take pride in their village. Obviously good money to be made in Suki and Josese is already reorganising the rotation of crops in his mind as obviously good income from good Suki. The Fijian people are always very hospitable and welcoming although life is not easy they are always very giving. As a whole we could learn a lot from the Fijian people and I feel it would be a better world.What a good trip❤️

    There is a whole world of tobacco processing...like tea... depending on how you want you use the final product (cigar, snuff, etc.) and what flavour aroma you desire. Even the Brazilian process very rarely done now was like a three-stage barrel ferment process of some nature. and beside aging curing it can be roasted or smoked brfkre final drying.

    The ceremonial aspect of drinking kava is so beautiful. We could learn a thing or two from them about treating intoxicants with a bit more respect, instead of getting hammered and fighting. The Aztec and Mayans show the same respect with ayehuasca.

    • @Samizouza
      @Samizouza Рік тому

      That's what kava was originally meant for since it's was mainly for chiefs and elders only back in the day, it's still being treated with respect today despite some people overdoing it like alcohol.

    So they clip the tops and suckers off the tobacco plants to concentrate all nutrients toward the old large leaves. That’s basic farming techniques to yield large size crops.
    The village can also look into livestocks as chickens and ducks to offset farming the land.
