On March 22nd Bula Kava House turns 3 years old. I decided to make this place a reality after seeing the lovely community at Kanaka Kava while I was living on the Big Island. People told me it wouldn't work, they said I was crazy and suggested I open a full restaurant that ALSO serves kava, or to open a small cart. No way could a muddy flavored, non-addictive, mild intoxicant carry a brick and mortar and online business. Yet here we are still serving and selling kava, and doing more of it every day. It's all thanks to the community that kava creates, proven strong over the last 3,000 plus years of south pacific enjoyment. Kava drinkers from all walks of life are friends inside the doors of Bula Kava House, and virtually over the internet through this forum and others. Thanks for making this possible. If you live near Portland, the 22nd would be a good day to stop by. We'll have kava specials, live music, contests and raffles. If you can't make it in, make sure you're signed up to our mailing list. I have a sneaking suspicion there will be a discount code to help you celebrate with us in spirit.
