What is Kava

Kava is a traditional Pacific drink prepared from the root of the kava plant. Its earthy flavour, hands-on preparation and social nature are all part of the experience.

Made From Kava Root, Prepared With Water

Kava comes from Piper methysticum, a plant native to the Pacific Islands. Its root is dried and ground, then mixed and strained with water to prepare the traditional drink.

  • Kava has a distinctive, earthy flavour rather than a sweet or flavoured taste.

  • The powder is mixed with water and worked through a suitable strainer before serving.

  • Kava is traditionally prepared for gatherings, conversation and time spent together.
