Instant Melo Melo Kava: The Slow Afternoon, Without the Wait
Melo Melo, the creamy, balanced cultivar from Espiritu Santo, dehydrated from the fresh root juice into a powder that stirs into water. Same cultivar as our traditional grind, none of the kneading; a teaspoon to a cup, so a pack lasts about three times as long. Made for a slow afternoon when the full ritual is more than the moment needs.

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.
