Pohnpei has two varieties of sakau (Piper methysticum), Rahmedel and Rahmwanger. Unlike other countries or islands that grow a great variety of sakau (kava), Pohnpei’s two varieties are both suitable for consumption. If you like the Pohnpei Pepper better than all the other peppers in the market, then you will definitely like the Pohnpei sakau for the same ways and reasons.
The sakau is available for both small and bulk purchasing and in four forms: frozen, fresh, dry, and powder. The powder prices are available here and discounts apply depending on order quantity. Please feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] for more information.
We only buy and process mature, strong, and top quality sakau plants. The sakau plant is harvested, cut in pieces, and thoroughly washed and cleaned.
Frozen Sakau: Once the sakau product is thoroughly washed and cleaned, it is pounded and vacuum-sealed.
Fresh Sakau: After the pieces are washed and cleaned, the pieces are cut into smaller pieces for overnight drying.
Dry Sakau: After the fresh pieces are washed and cleaned, they are cut into smaller pieces, milled into chips, and sun dried for longer shelf life.
Powdered Sakau: The sakau plant is cut into pieces, thoroughly washed/cleaned, pounded, dried, and ground into fine powder form. These are produced in small batches to control and maintain the quality. We have this available in 4oz and 8oz bags.
Please note that only the powdered sakau is available online. Contact us for prices or for more info on the other sakau products.
