General
Kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant native to the Pacific Islands. A drink is made from its roots and has been consumed for over 3,000 years in ceremonies, community gatherings, and for relaxation. It promotes calm without affecting mental clarity.
Yes. Kava was legalised for commercial import into Australia in December 2021. All House of Kava products are fully compliant with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) regulations.
Noble kava refers to cultivars traditionally selected over centuries for their balanced kavalactone profiles and pleasant effects. House of Kava exclusively sources noble varieties — never tudei (two-day) kava.
We source directly from farming communities in Fiji and Vanuatu, with an on-ground team including a dedicated kava specialist based in Fiji who oversees quality at every stage.
Products & Preparation
Instant kava is pre-extracted — just stir into water and drink. Traditional grind requires kneading the powder in a strainer bag with water for 10-15 minutes. Both deliver the authentic kava experience. Instant is more convenient; traditional offers a richer ritual.
For instant: 1-2 tablespoons in 200-300ml of water. For traditional grind: 2-4 tablespoons in 500ml of warm water. Start with less and adjust to your preference.
We strongly recommend against combining kava with alcohol. Many people enjoy kava as a natural alcohol-free alternative for social relaxation.
Store kava in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sealed properly, kava powder has a long shelf life. Once opened, we recommend consuming within 6 months for best potency.
