KavaFAQ
What is kava?
Kava refers to a kava drink, beverage or plant. Our ground powder at Kava Vanuatu is made of 100% dried noble kava root powder. A kava drink is a traditional drink which utilises fresh roots and rhizomes from a kava plant which is then ground until it is fine and fibrous, soaked in water and then strained. A kava drink may also utilise dried roots which are wrapped in a cloth, infused in water and then strained. The preparation of a kava drink will vary depending on the form of kava you are consuming.
