Regular price
$5,530.00
Title
Roots Jamaica High-Grade Kava is single-origin noble kava root from Vanuatu, ground for traditional preparation and packed in a resealable 250g (8.8oz) pouch. It is the first kava we are bringing to Jamaica — one root tradition meeting another.
Two island cultures, one rooted tradition
Jamaica has prepared botanical drinks from roots and bush for generations. Across the Pacific, island communities built their own root tradition around kava (Piper methysticum), prepared with water and shared from a bowl. Roots Jamaica brings that Pacific practice here without borrowing anyone's ceremony — the same idea of good plants, prepared simply, shared with people you like.

How to prepare it

Prepare it the traditional way
Hand kneaded, strained, and shared — the way it is made in the islands.
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.
Questions about this bag
Start at about 1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) per 1/2 cup of water, drink a cup, and adjust on the next round rather than all at once.
Cool or room temperature water with a longer knead generally gives a smoother cup. Very hot water is not needed.
A short second wash of the same root will give a lighter cup. After that, discard it.
Adults only. Not for anyone under 18, or for people who are pregnant or nursing. Do not combine kava with alcohol, and do not drive after drinking it. Speak with your physician first if you have a liver condition, take prescription medication, or have any health concern.
