What Makes Our Viti Kava Powder Premium Quality?

First we only buy noble varieties of kava. Tu dei (Two Day) kava varieties result in undesirable side effects such as headaches and nausea for a couple of days.

Secondly, our kava is only made from the lateral roots (waka) and basal roots (lewena). Pure waka powder which is what we sell at Viti Kava has a stronger effect compared to lewena. Under no circumstances should one consume kava powder which contains stems (kasa) or leaves. Pacific Islander natives have only consumed kava made from roots for centuries without any major side effects.

Thirdly, our kava is fresh and cleaned well. At Viti Kava we import new batches every 4 months and our kava processor cleans and packs to FDA standards.

Lastly the kava needs to be matured to at least 3 years. Kava lactone in kava roots is optimal when the plant is at 3 years of age and continually increases at a slower rate.

FAQ on Kava Powder

Kava root comes from the kava plant; a plant that is in the pepper family. It originates from the South Pacific Islands. Kava root is harvested, dried, and ground into a powder that is used to make a kava root tea.Kava is all-natural and has been a popular drink throughout Polynesia and Melanesia for centuries. It is gaining popularity in Australia as an all-natural way to ease stress and wind down at the end of the day. In the South Pacific, drinking kava is an integral part of traditional religious and cultural ceremonies and important village social occasions. Historically kava was also prepared and drank for medicinal purposes.
 
Traditionally, you prepare a drink of kava like you might brew a tea. Add the kava root powder to a straining bag, for example, a muslin cloth. It doesn’t matter what kind of straining bag you use. Sometimes even women’s pantyhose are used as straining bags. Then steep the bag in warm water to begin a kava tea brew. The difference between kava root tea and regular tea is the kneading required to extract the good stuff from the root; the bag is kneaded in the water. This releases the active ingredients and turns the water a muddy brown color. Kava doesn’t look, or even taste good – but it feels good! Continue the kneading process until the tea is brewed. The surface of the water will be slightly shining. And all that is left in the straining bag are the coarse fibers of the root. These are either discarded or set aside for a subsequent rinsing and kneading, (a second wash), to create a weaker second brew.
 
Kava, if consumed correctly, is very safe. The World Health Organization’s Codex Alimentarius concluded that kava has had at least a 1500-year history of relatively safe use and that kava as a traditional beverage is safe for human consumption. Kava consumption is self-limiting. If you drink too much kava you will start to feel nauseous – it’s kava’s way of telling you, you’ve had enough for the night. Excessive daily consumption of kava over a long period of time can lead to minor dry or itchy skin known as Kava Dermopathy. This is a completely reversible instance and the simple solution is to take a break from drinking kava for a while.One European Study that concluded that kava was linked to liver damage led people to wonder whether kava tea is safe was later refuted for its bad science. Unfortunately, the prevalence of misinformation stemming from that study dominates online and regularly turns up in badly researched articles.Learn more. There have been a very, very small number of instances of kava being linked to liver damage. As with any herbal or pharmaceutical substance, there is always the possibility of an adverse reaction and the risk of a person being allergic to the product. But this is extremely rare. However, anyone with pre-existing liver problems is advised not to drink kava.
