It is for the tourist/expat market,of course, but is a niche product being made with cocoa beans from Aore island in a small family run business on Aore. They do a range of chocolates with local ingredients (ginger, tamarind etc), not only kava. It's expensive too, but won some international chocolate awards of some kind recently, so thought I'd get some. (I haven't ever seen any other kava candy/chew/gimmick in Vanuatu since the cruise-ship targeted Kava Store in Vila shut down a couple of years ago - all that stuff is for the overseas market only).
It was nice chocolate, with a noticeable kava tongue tingle, but didn't stop the kids bouncing off the walls one bit, so the kava content is only for taste not effect. Back to the drawing board!
