Vanuatu Kava Root Powder

We have the Melanesian people of the beautiful and magical Vanuatu Islands in the South Pacific to thank for today’s production of Kava Kava as it was their ancient ancestors who first harnessed the power of the Kava plant. In amongst the white sandy beaches and palm tree lined beaches, great swathes of Kava plants grow. There are more varieties found here than in any other part of the world and the island is synonymous with its high quality and potent Kava crop.

The law on Vanatu with regard to the export of Kava powder states that the plant must have been organically grown with a total absence of pesticides or other man made chemicals.Going further it stipulates that any plant to be used must be at least 5 years old and have only the lateral roots used in production as the tops of Kava plants are known to be slightly toxic.

As the people of Vanatu say, why not sit back and “listen to the Kava”. Extra fine Kava powder can be used in many type of drinks found in our recipe section. Experience an enhanced mental and sensual alertness not to mention a calmness and feeling of contentment with a glass of Kava.

Extra fine grind makes for easy mixing and very little waste. One pound (453g) of kava powder makes approx. 12 quarts (11.4 liters) of kava beverage. Please see our recipe page for instructions.

Available in 1/2lb or 1lb bags.
