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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

For those who care to listen: I'll be talking about the US kava market, and likely implications for the economies of the pacific, on "Pacific Beat" today (tomorrow OZ time). It will air just after 3pm eastern (GMT -4) and about 6am for those of you in the Ozzie market. Live-to-air. Yup, you...

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...

Just arrived in LA, and look at this.... www.dailypost.vu in case they change the lead online story, it can be found here.... http://www.dailypost.vu/content/end-kava-exports Have fun arguing.... Andrew The end of Kava exports.pdf (Attached direct article in PDF format) - Kap'm

It should be noted that, with an entire section on "Medicinal Usage" of kava, that it is careful no claims be made about it, particularly by vendors. Making claims about a substance is, in the eyes of the FDA, what causes it to be considered a "drug" rather than a "supplement" and can result in...

This is a direct response in my most recent email exchange with Dr. Lebot to the two-day kava question and FKB. ------------------------------- "Dear Andrew As far as Vanuatu is concerned, am afraid that there is limited room for manoeuvre, as BY LAW, two-days varieties are not legal and...

Just our luck that within a couple weeks of finally getting the web pages updated and rolling, our server goes kaput. Serves us right for using one of those uppity "green" servers in Iceland that is supposed to be carbon-neutral, and we should have just gone with one of the servers in the good...

Congratulations to the VRL on their recent win and future prospects! One of the many reasons we choose the kava supplier we do - community support and involvement. They are also huge supporters of the Vanuatu Surfing Association, which gives Ni-van kids the chance to travel and take up a sport...

This is a video that was taken during the festivities accompanying the dedication of the John Frum Center for the preservation of Kastom life in th villages of Tanna. while it is in Bislama, Bislama is a pidgin English, and the meaning can often be understood "behind" the words, so to speak...

Ground-breaking news: The Kava Act has been part of Vanuatu "law" since 2002, but there has been no enforcement mechanism or particular standards to enforce. Finally, there is a draft regulation being developed that will create specific standards for producers, processors, and exporters, as...

Yes, this is just what it looks like! Just started them today in the shop. (A little late because summer is over - but that is probably why the machine was so much cheaper than usual.) This recipe is made with fresh strawberries, fresh squeezed lime juice, water, sugar and the water-based...
