Herbal Intelligence
Phytochemistry
Kava root and rhizome contain a group of compounds known as kavalactones, including kavain, dihydrokavain and methysticin. These constituents have been studied extensively for their action on the nervous system.
Living tradition
Kava has been the Pacific's shared evening drink for some three thousand years, poured in ceremony and in company. Today it is best known as the herb people reach for in place of alcohol: a social drink for the end of the day, and the alternative our customers most often come to us for.
Suggested use
Stir 1 to 3 teaspoons (5 to 15 g) into 300 mL of water, juice or a smoothie per person; nothing to strain. Start with one teaspoon. Drunk over the evening, a few times a week rather than every day, and not on a night with alcohol. A splash of milk or coconut milk makes it smoother.

One of the best Kavas you could find, instant and easy to go. Perfect to unwind on the weekend.
Very handy as an instant powder. I like the trial packets as it’s allowed me to work out which kava suits my body and needs
Effective GABAnergic without the life ruining consequences :D
My first time trying the instant kava, I found this strain gave me a subtle but nice mellow feeling. Thank you.
So glad to hear you are impressed with our Kava!
My partner Josh and I just shared a cup of the green kava & we’re both rushing and ecstatic. It’s actually quite strong and fast onset!! Josh loves it! My fave for sure!
We're all buzzing around the office on the new kava, thanks for sharing. Laura.
