Solomon Island kava vs. other origins

The Solomon Islands are one of several kava origins we stock:

• Solomon Island Gold — a 65% basal / 35% lateral root blend.
• Solomon Island Head Hunter — another Solomon kava.
• Vanuatu — the heart of kava cultivation.

How kava is traditionally prepared

Kava root is traditionally prepared by kneading the ground root in water and straining out the fibrous material, which yields the classic Pacific Islander kava beverage served across Vanuatu, Fiji, and the wider Pacific. Ground root powder is the form used for that traditional preparation; a strainer bag or a shaker such as the AluBall makes it quicker.

Safety

Kava has been associated with liver injury in rare cases. Do not use it if you have a liver condition or take medication that affects the liver, and do not combine it with alcohol.
