    Instant Kava Quick Kava Powder

    Strain: Borogu Effects: Like a shell at a Vanuatu Kava Bar – noticeable within 7 minutes of drinking it. Not as strong as our Tanna Kava line but the strongest Instant Kava available on the market. Taste: Mid range taste, more of a pepper taste than Malekula Magic but certainly milder than the...

    Powdered Kava Borogu / Silese Blend Melakula Island

    A special twist on a popular kava plant. This kava is similiar to the kava above - a blend of different cultivars, but the local tradition of preparation is to peel the dark outer skin off of the roots, leaving an extremely mellow, almost milky beverage, with moderate mind but very strong...

    Powdered Kava Ahouia (Kaolik) Tanna Island

    Tanna island is known for masticating their kava before drinking it, as well as having some of the most potent noble kava in the world. “Ahouia” means “yellow” in one of the native Tannese languages, and it is so called because it is rich in kavalactones, not chewed, the chemotype (lactone...

    Powdered Kava Marang-Marang Tanna Island

    Tanna is another form of Kava that we carry and is the type used for ceremonies on the island. While Ahouia is used often for social-drinking, Marang is used when tribe members want to sit below their sacred banyan trees and “listen to the kava.” A very well balanced kava whose heady effects are...

    Powdered Kava Borogu (Boroguru) Maewo Island

    As if standard Borogu did not have enough of a kick, we bring you a next-level kava. No “chips” or “stump root,” just pure, long, skinny, nutrient-gathering lateral roots, prepared to perfection. Slightly more of a bite than the standard with a very powerful relaxation effect.

    Powdered Kava Borogu Pentecost Island

    The most-consumed and probably best-known drinking kava in the world. Ours is a blend of 2 :1 Chips : Lateral Roots we get from Pentecost Island. It is a very smooth blend that has quite strong mind and body effects.

    Supplier Profile Noble Kava

    For thousands of years, a small handful of the hundreds of kava cultivars were considered "noble,"or fit to drink by cultures to whom it was central. We uphold this ancient tradition by providing only noble kava for your consumption. Noble kava has what is considered to be the proper balance of...

    KAVA PRESS ALERT Pentecost to Face Kava Shortage

    http://indigenouswatch.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/pentecost-to-face-kava-shortage/ From Indigenous Watch. This guy needs to get strung up (metaphorically, of course) for a couple reasons. He is totally undercutting VCMB prices and screwing the farmers, and at the price per kilo he is paying, I...

    Front Page of the Vanuatu Daily Post - The End of Kava Exports?

    I think you hit the nail square on the head. (You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.) I think every vendor that regularly participates on here deserves some recognition, because in addition to lots of promotion, they all open themselves up to getting lots of $#!+. Frankly...

    Thanks for responding. I will, more than likely, try to call you soon, but I have been crazy-busy as of late as well. Think I might just get all this noise over sooner rather than later, and move the family to the land of kava. As per 11mg/kg, I would personally not say that is the limit...

    Today on "Pacific Beat" on ABC radio Australia

    Not sure... I think it will eventually be a podcast, but the page for it is here... http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacific/radio/program/pacific-beat Thanks for the interest. Keep your fingers crossed I don't put a foot in my mouth. ;-)

    Judd asked before for a specific level... but dammit.. I can't find his post here or on whatever thread he asked. Nor, do I know how to tag him in a response... but essentially, when I was talking to Dr. Xing, he spoke of a recent, yet-unpublished test done, in-vivo, on hepatotoxicity of FKB...

    Apparently, while it is a particular pidgin term for kava, it does refer to a specific type that Lebot says is either an Isa or Iki (?) cultivar, which are found in the same geographic region of PNG. While Judd says that it is essentially just a branded name based on the pidgin, part of the...

    Based upon how the system works, I wasinformed (by Schmidt, when discussion how to approach the CODEX) f we are to market kava by cultivar (chemotype) then EVERY cultivar sold would be recognized as distinctively different, and require all the rigmarole it takes for something to be considered a...

    When talking to Lebot, he told me with certainty that Koniak is a two-day, and it is found in the same basin where Isa is in PNG. No "good" kavas are found there. As per the Koniak sold by a vendor here, when a sample of it was tested, it did not come back as noble at the Dept. of Ag. in...

    Kava Physiology Two-day, or not two-day, that is the question.

    So THAT is where Dr. Xing was headed afterward. His recent work on FKB toxicity levels and anti-tumerogenic properties of methysticin are mind blowing. We should talk soon. Hope all is well out there in the middle of the lake!

    How to get REALLY high in Tanna... (and have chewed kava too...)

    This is the work of my Kastom brother and namesake Daniel Iahi Samson. (and we even get a passing mention in it for solar panels - I try to add a few with every visit.) The water system we intended to help with has been eclipsed by funding for a village-wide system rather than a simple pump, and...

    Front Page of the Vanuatu Daily Post - The End of Kava Exports?

    Just want to make the point, EVERY researcher at the forum, and those I have spoken with who were not at the forums, including Lebot, speak of the distinction of "noble" kavas, and others. It is important to use the same language, and when one is using different language than EVERY major...
