Kava

Kava is made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant and has been prepared as a traditional drink for centuries in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and across the Pacific, where it is shared at ceremonies and social gatherings. Our kava range includes traditional kava root and powder for making the drink, along with kava teas and ready-to-prepare products from trusted Pacific and New Zealand brands.

Compare the form, the plant part used and the preparation directions on each label, and prepare kava with water only, as traditionally made. Kava has been linked to rare cases of liver problems, so it should not be taken with alcohol or by people with liver conditions, and it may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery after use. It may also interact with medicines, so check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take medication, have a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Our team in store are happy to help.
