New to Kava? Here's What You Need to Know.
Kava is a traditional Pacific Island drink made from the roots of the kava plant. For over 3000 years, Pacific communities have gathered around kava bowls for ceremony, conversation and quiet connection.
Kava offers a unique experience of relaxed clarity, a gentle calmness while staying mentally present and engaged.
Many people describe it as the opposite of coffee: sociable and calming, helping you slow down and be present. No hangover, no grogginess the next day. It's regulated as a food product in New Zealand.
DISCOVER WHAT REAL KAVA FEELS LIKE
Thousands of people across the globe have made our noble kava part of their evening. We started as a kava appreciation group at the University of Auckland and spent over a decade working with Vanuatu partners to bring the fresh kava experience to New Zealand. This is as close to drinking freshly harvested kava in the Pacific as you can get. Find your peace.
Our Flagship Instant Blend: Balanced, Potent, Reliable
A harmonious blend made from selected noble Vanuatu cultivars of balanced and heady character. Perfect for beginners seeking a reliable benchmark before exploring single cultivars, or experienced drinkers wanting convenient, consistent results.
Character: Balanced and heady-leaning, clear and bright with gentle mellowness, more cerebral than heavy without being one-dimensional. The higher lateral ratio (40:60 compared to our single cultivars' natural 30:70) creates a more pronounced initial character. Potent yet approachable; as close to fresh island kava as instant gets. Blend composition may vary slightly by batch, but we maintain the balanced, classic Vanuatu character.
Taste & Aroma: Fresh and grassy with characteristic kava spice from the higher lateral content. Slightly peppery, smooth finish.
Instant Format: Traditional kava powder contains coarse, woody fibres that must be strained out before drinking. For our instant kava, freshly harvested roots are washed, peeled, and have these fibres carefully removed prior to drying and milling into an ultra-fine powder. This is why you can enjoy it without any straining or kneading, just mix with water.
Origin: Espiritu Santo + surrounding islands, Vanuatu
Typical Chemotype: 421365

Organically Grown Noble Kava
100% pure noble kava from pristine volcanic soils. Our farmers cultivate specific single cultivars in regions best suited for each variety. Each plant matures for 3-5+ years using traditional organic farming methods passed down through generations.
Always Processed from Fresh
Each batch is made from kava harvested to order, never from old village-dried stock. Plants are inspected on arrival for the right cultivar, for freshness, and for contamination. Anything that doesn’t pass is rejected.
Cleaned and Dried to Fresh Perfection
Freshly harvested roots are meticulously cleaned and dried using bespoke methods developed over years of research and refinement. The process preserves potency, fresh aroma, and active compounds. Each batch is then vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed to lock in freshness.
Every Batch Tested
Our kava undergoes comprehensive testing using UHPLC analysis (superior to standard HPLC), full microbiological screening, and chemotype verification in an advanced in-house laboratory. Every batch comes with complete certificates of analysis and exceeds FSANZ Standard 2.6.3 requirements.
