Vanuatu Black Label vs. other Vanuatu kava
We carry more than one Vanuatu kava:
- Vanuatu Black Label — a 50% basal and 50% lateral root blend.
- Vanuatu Ceremonial — traditional ground root.
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.
Vanuatu Black Label Kava Root Powder
Vanuatu Black Label Kava is sold as traditional ground kava root powder, by weight, in a range of sizes from 1 oz to 1 lb. Larger sizes bring the per-ounce price down.
Storage
Store kava powder in an airtight container, away from heat, light, and humidity. Kept cool and dry, Vanuatu Black Label Kava holds its quality for a long time.
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. Avoid driving or operating machinery after use. We recommend you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications. 21+ only.

Good as always
Always good product. Expensive to a degree but with kava you get what you pay for. It's coming from Island far away.
