Premium Lateral Roots Blend: Pure Laterals, Rapid Onset

A strong, heady blend of 100% lateral roots from prized noble Vanuatu cultivars including Melo Melo and Borogoru. Laterals contain the highest kavalactone concentration and are richest in kavain, delivering rapid onset with cerebral intensity. The use of balanced/heavy cultivars provides a balanced finish despite the initial rush. Not recommended for beginners due to strength and sharper, more bitter flavour profile—this is for experienced kava enthusiasts seeking pure lateral intensity.

What Makes Mighty Roots Distinctive:

  • 100% lateral roots: Unlike most Vanuatu kava (naturally 70-80% stump), this uses only the potent lateral extensions
  • Highest kavalactone concentration: Laterals contain significantly more kavalactones than stump material
  • Rapid, cerebral onset: High kavain content creates fast-acting, mentally intense effects
  • Balanced finish: Despite intense start, the use of balanced cultivars like Melo Melo and Borogoru creates satisfying conclusion
  • Sharp, robust flavour: More bitter and peppery than balanced blends—characteristic of pure lateral roots
  • Exceptional K:DHM ratio: Average of 5.6, contributing to the clean, cerebral character

While we generally prefer the natural ratio found in our single cultivars, we created this premium blend for those seeking extra potency and rapid cerebral effects.

Chemotype: 423165

Laterals-to-stump ratio: 100% lateral roots

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 exclusively made from kava harvested to order - never old village-dried stock. All plants undergo rigorous assessment: cultivar verification, freshness inspection, contamination screening, and rejection of any unhealthy or damaged roots.

Cleaned and dried to fresh perfection

Freshly harvested roots are meticulously cleaned and dried using proprietary methods. The process preserves maximum potency, fresh aroma, and bioactive compounds, while ensuring food safety. Each batch is immediately vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed, locking in peak 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.
