One of Vanuatu’s most established and respected cultivars. Borogoru is originally from Pentacost island, but has been carried for cultivation across Vanuatu. Our Borogoru comes primarily from Espiritu Santo.
This kava is known for its substantial character – developing slowly but with exceptional depth.
This instant version preserves Borogoru’s distinctive deep character. Created using proprietary processing, fresh kava juice is made through cold water extraction of freshly harvested roots, carefully filtered, then gently dehydrated using methods that preserve freshness and protect delicate phytochemicals while achieving stability. The powder retains hints of the fresh herbs, black pepper, and bitter chocolate scent that the traditional powder is known for, though in a more subtle form due to the instant processing.
