A treasured kava from Santo’s lush heartland, named for the distinctive reddish colour of its stems. This rare cultivar exists only in its native region. Bir Kar offers an interesting middle ground – neither as light as Kelai nor as heavy as Borogoru. Dr Lebot described this cultivar as “quick and strong” in his research.
This instant version maintains the same balanced profile as the traditional grind. Fresh kava juice is extracted from freshly harvested roots, carefully filtered, then gently dehydrated using proprietary methods that preserve freshness and protect delicate phytochemicals. The powder retains hints of the roasted peanuts, black pepper, and chocolate scent that the traditional powder is known for, though in a more subtle form due to the instant processing.
