Kava
Traditionally used as a ceremonial drink in the Pacific Islands, enjoyed for its relaxing, mood enhancing and mildly intoxicating effects.
This is excellent for sleep and when feeling a tad anxious. Was wondering; this is not instant is it? Does it need to be strained?
Hi, instant means you don't have to process it like you do traditional. The plain Kava branded bags we offer are traditional, although many people say our kava is so effective that even the slightest processing creates an effect. That said, I LOVE our instant range, same efffect but 1/3 of the amount dissolved in warm water in seconds. Check out our video on how to process traditional Kava ...https://youtu.be/X1ZNFhyfB7E?si=eq-Y0WeXuVWEKWM-
I got the Kava as a replacement for social situations.
And I have to say, it's worth the try.
I love the calming effect without the hangxiety that alcohol brings. Doesn't taste the best 😂 but it's worth it
Hi just wondering when you will have more kava in stock ?
Hello, just wondering if this is confirmed as a noble kava variety? Thank you!
Hi Fiona, great question! We only source noble kava, so it has a better effect. Cheers!
