Every kava is different

Several single cultivars and a handful of blends, all grown in Vanuatu. Each is traceable to a named growing region and has its own character. Colour and aroma are listed on every product page.

Most are available in two forms

Traditional grind

Coarse milled root with the fibres left in. Fuller aroma and colour, and more economical per gram. Used with a filter bag to strain out the hard woody fibres.

Instant

The hard woody fibres are already removed, so there is nothing to strain. More concentrated per gram, and the quicker option.

Farmers harvesting kava in Vanuatu

Where our kava comes from

Kava Europe is the official European partner and exclusive distributor of The Kava Society (New Zealand), widely regarded as the supplier of the finest kava in the world. Founded in 2011 by researchers at the University of Auckland, they have spent over a decade selecting the most desirable noble cultivars and working with their Vanuatu partners to choose processing methods that preserve the character and quality of fresh, just-harvested kava.

Their kava is harvested fresh and processed within hours. Every batch is laboratory tested and fully traceable to a specific cultivar and growing region. Nobody in the kava industry comes close to this level of care, and the kava they supply is as close to fresh, just-harvested kava as one can get.
