High-grade kava
Two island cultures, one rooted tradition
Kava (Piper methysticum) has been cultivated and shared across Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa for centuries — the root pounded or ground, kneaded in water, strained, and passed around.
Jamaica has its own long tradition of plants, gathering, and unhurried evening talk. Kava culture is new here, and we are at the start of it. That is exactly what this bag is for.
One bag. One root.
Traditional grind noble kava root, packed in a resealable 250 g bag — approximately 152 servings.

How to make kava
Traditional grind is prepared by hand: knead the root in water, strain, and share. About five minutes, one bowl.
1. Measure and pour
About 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) of traditional grind per 1/2 cup of cool water. Put the powder in a straining cloth or mesh bag and set it in the bowl.
2. Knead for three minutes
Massage and squeeze the bag under the water until the water turns cloudy and tan. The kneading is what does the work.
3. Strain, stir, share
Wring the bag out, discard the spent root, stir, and pour. Best taken over a session rather than all at once.

Kava is a shared drink
In the islands kava is poured for guests, for settling things, for talking late. It is social by design — a bowl, a cup, and people who are not in a hurry.
Bring it to the veranda, the yard, the shop, the studio. Pour for whoever is there.
Good to know
Kava root only — noble kava root from Vanuatu at a traditional grind. No leaf or stem material, no fillers, no flavourings.
Start with about 1/2 teaspoon (roughly 1.5 g) per 1/2 cup of water and adjust from there. A 250 g bag holds approximately 152 servings at that measure.
Earthy, peppery, a little bitter. Most people stir it well, drink it fairly quickly, and follow it with juice or fruit.
Kava is for adults only. It is not for anyone under 18, or for people who are pregnant or nursing. Do not combine kava with alcohol, and do not drive or operate machinery after drinking it. If you have a liver condition, take prescription medication, or have any health concern, speak with your physician before use.
