What is Vanuatu Black Label Kava?

Vanuatu Black Label is a premium noble kava cultivar from Vanuatu, the South Pacific nation recognized as the heart of traditional kava cultivation. It is ground Piper methysticum root, and the "Black Label" name marks it as a premium-grade selection within our Vanuatu kava range.

Where our Vanuatu Black Label Kava comes from

We source Vanuatu Black Label from established Vanuatu growers, where the deepest legal regulation of kava cultivation in the world keeps the supply to high-quality noble root.

Our Vanuatu Black Label Kava is third-party lab tested for heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and kavalactone content. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request.

Vanuatu Black Label vs. other Vanuatu kava

We carry more than one Vanuatu noble kava:

• Vanuatu Black Label — a premium-grade noble selection.
• Vanuatu Ceremonial — traditional ground noble 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.
