Kava Origins:

Sourced directly from the island of Ambae in Vanuatu, this single-cultivar Noble MeloMelo kava is grown by small-scale farmers deeply rooted in their island community. The roots are harvested at peak maturity to ensure maximum potency and purity.

Our partners work directly with these farming families to ensure fair pricing and sustainable practices — rewarding the skill and dedication that go into producing one of Vanuatu’s finest kavas.

Cultivation:

• Lateral Root: Smaller roots higher in kavalactones for stronger effects.
  
• Basal Root: The peeled root base provides creaminess and balance, rounding out the blend’s full-body profile.

Brewing Directions:

Single Serving:
50 g of kava in 20 oz of water. Blend for 4 minutes and strain for a smooth, balanced drink.

Gallon Method:
Use 100–130 g of kava in 1 gallon of room-temperature water. Place the kava in a nut bag or cheesecloth, and massage for 15–20 minutes to extract the kavalactones. This creates a milder brew for sharing longer sessions with friends.

Tip: Add 4 oz of coconut milk (20% of your gallon) to enhance flavor and create a rich, smooth finish.
