Borogoru Single Cultivar Instant Green Kava
A Classic Evening Kava: Gradual, Deeply Mellow, Grounding
One of the most popular kava cultivars in Vanuatu, Borogoru is prized for its balanced-heavy character and mellow profile. This classic evening kava is known for its slow, gradual onset and prolonged, complex character—a favourite among those who enjoy a deeper, more grounding kava experience.
Character: Balanced-heavy with a grounding body character and gradual mellowness—slower and deeper than heady varieties. Character builds gradually over 30-45 minutes and lasts considerably longer than lighter cultivars. Traditionally enjoyed in late afternoon or evening. A favourite for body refreshment after strenuous physical effort.
Taste & Aroma: Peppery and herbal with hints of sweetness. Flavour combines spice with fresh, grassy notes and bitter chocolate.
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.
