What is kava?
The name “kava” (or “kava kava”, as often used in Europe) has two meanings. It refers to a perennial plant domesticated and grown across Oceania, and to a relaxing traditional beverage prepared from its roots. Kava has been used for a whole range of purposes by the cultures of the South Pacific for millenia.
In the European Union, the use of the kava plant is currently limited to purposes other than human consumption. For example, it can be used as a natural, organic textile dye. Kava contains unique phytochemicals that produce vibrant colors, making it suitable for natural textile dyeing. Traditionally prepared kava can impart distinctive colors—ranging from yellow and brown to tropical beige, depending on the cultivar and preparation style. These natural compounds make kava an excellent choice for dyeing textiles in a natural and sustainable way.
Europe’s Premier Source of Fine Kava
KAVA EUROPE is the official partner and distributor of fine-quality kava from the Kava Society (New Zealand) in the European market. The Kava Society was originally established as an informal kava association by scientists and researchers from Auckland University. Driven by a genuine passion for the plant, the Kava Society has evolved into one of the world’s best-known and highly acclaimed suppliers of high-quality kava powders.
We are committed to ensuring that our store offers only products that meet the highest standards of hygiene and quality. Kava Europe actively works to educate and popularise knowledge about kava in the EU/EEA territory. Our efforts in this area include social and informational campaigns and the publication of dedicated materials.
Our hope and dream is to see kava, along with its benefits, become more mainstream throughout Europe.
