Kava Kava, or Piper mythisticum, is a root native to the Pacific Islands, Polynesia, & some islands in South East Asia. It was traditionally used a ceremonial beverage by local tribes of the regions but it is now a very popular herb in the United States, being used as an ingredient in canned drinks & beverages at walk-in Kava Bars. We offer a highly-sought robust noble Vanuatu Kava in two options – Instant & Traditional. Instant Kava is a smooth, finely powdered kava root in 30g packages, & Traditional Kava, available in 125g packages, has a more chunky powder with some root pieces that makes for additional steps in the preparation process. Both are equally popular & we feel it really all comes down to personal preference here.
