Known kava shops with a bulk discount (6 or 8kg+) option??

[Blergs]

Hello all
Haven't been on in a bit.

Anyways, I've been waiting over 2-3yrs for Ofas to restock and it never happened, nor a reply.
what happened? I guess they/he won't be coming back at this point I suspect :'(


I usually like to buy in bulk 6-10kg at a time 1-3x/yr to save money when able to get bulk deal on good kava.

For this I've been using Ofa's kava (he'd adjust the price for me once all in cart) and Lami/ekava mainly for years (and 1-2kg here and there of others as a treat, like KwK special reserve Santo laterals omg nice hahaha)

I miss having a Tongan in rotation :'( any recommendations for buying in bulk??
Honestly open to other types/regions aswell though

Looking at/for around $70usd/kg , but in bulk order size ofcourse 6-10kg at a time, more even if must. (Known wonderful shops here feel free to reach out aswell )
*I'm in Canada btw*


I drink alot of kava and can't afford to buy by the lb or kg (50-150g/day ) looking for bulk discount option (and decent/good-strong kava ofcourse )

Thank you for your time and any input!!

You can probably email almost any vendor and request a deal on bulk, I know KWK has 5lbs deal but I am sure you could request a larger amount.

Sorry delay, it's been hectic. .

My only concern is they label it at a supplement, when here (Canada) it's a food product . Supplements you're only allowed to buy 3mo at a time (stupid I know.. hopefully that changes soon) , so sometimes customs may just look at it as supplement and limit to 3 bags. I haven't had issues luckily when I've gotten 4 + etc bags, but apparently some have. At worst it'd probably just get sent back tho and maybe worth a try for 6-8kg sometime. (Especially if they got that Santo laterals in! Love that one haha) .
Maybe I'll ask if they could just put it in unlabeled as supplement bag or something, just say "kava root" or something

TLDR : lol
Thank you!

You have to love Canada's common sense in labeling it as a food, I wish the US would catch up already.

Here is an idea, ask the vendor to add a custom label for you that lists kava as a food, maybe if you are going to be a regular, they may try to accommodate, IDK, just a thought. I can't speak for any vendors but it doesn't hurt to ask for a bulk deal to CA (with some consideration for customs )

Whatever amount of bags you can get in, make sure every last one is a kilo (or maybe they can cram 1.5 kilos per bag for you and call it a kilo in label)

The US has caught up, but the Vendors haven't. The FDA clearly states:
"kava can also be used to brew tea, for example, as described in the recently
adopted Codex Alimentarius Regional Standard for Kava Products for Use as a Beverage When Mixed
with Water, in which case different food requirements would apply."
(We forgive them for the "brew tea" comparison but you get the point).
