Ground from the root of Vanuatu kava, a plant that has been at the center of Pacific Island gatherings for generations. Brewed, it's earthy and a little bitter, with a mellow, easygoing feel that many of our customers save for the end of the day. Don't be surprised by a slight tingle on your lips. That's the kava.
Make it taste better: stir in a splash of fruit juice, or blend ¼ tsp into a cup of Catch Some Zzzz's.
About the root: Kava's natural compounds, called kavalactones, build up as the plant matures, so the roots are harvested after several years of growth.
Before you sip: Kava isn't for everyone. Avoid it if you're pregnant or nursing, have liver concerns, or take prescription medications. Don't combine it with alcohol, and don't drive until you know how it affects you. Ask your doctor if you're unsure.
