Pacific Elixir Traditional Kava
Our Flagship Blend: Balanced, Potent, Versatile
We aim to dispatch on the next working day.
A carefully crafted blend of premium Vanuatu cultivars, Pacific Elixir delivers balanced character that suits both newcomers and experienced kava drinkers. Mentally refreshing with peaceful calmness and pleasant relaxation, potent without being overly heavy. This versatile kava works equally well as an evening wind-down, social companion, or aid to contemplation and creative thinking.
Character
Thoughtfully balanced, combining the finest qualities of multiple cultivars for consistent, well-rounded character. Ideal starting point before exploring more tailored single cultivar experiences. Surprisingly potent, high kavalactone content delivers strong character despite approachable profile. While specific cultivars may vary batch-to-batch, we maintain the balanced profile, potency, and pleasant character. Light-coloured beverage that belies its strength.
Taste & Aroma
Selected cultivars known for lower bitterness. Complex nutty and peppery flavour with notes of white chocolate, liquorice, and spices. Pleasant and approachable.
Traditional Grind Format
Peeled kava root ground into a medium-grind powder. Contains the root's indigestible fibres, so it needs to be kneaded and strained before drinking using a strainer bag.

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.
