At Kavasutra, we take great pride in sourcing the highest quality kava root directly from the beautiful islands of Vanuatu. Vanuatu is renowned for its rich kava culture, with kava ceremonies dating back thousands of years. This Pacific island nation is often referred to as the “home of kava,” and it is here that we find the most exceptional kava roots available in the world.
Our journey to find the best kava roots began with extensive research and exploration of various kava-growing regions. We were determined to bring only the finest kava to our customers, so we sought out the farmers and communities that have been cultivating kava for generations.
Vanuatu's unique geographical features, including its volcanic soil and tropical climate, provide the perfect conditions for growing kava. The volcanic soil is packed with essential minerals, which greatly enhance the flavor and potency of the kava roots. The warm and humid climate ensures the plants thrive and develop their full potential.
We established direct relationships with small-scale farmers in Vanuatu, forming partnerships based on mutual respect and fair trade principles. By working directly with these farmers, we are able to ensure that our kava is sustainably grown and harvested. This not only benefits the farmers and their communities but also guarantees that our customers receive the freshest and most authentic kava.
Our team of expert sommeliers and brewers personally visit these farms, immersing themselves in the local kava culture. This hands-on approach allows us to carefully select the kava roots that meet our rigorous standards. We evaluate the quality, taste, and potency of each batch, ensuring that only the best kava makes its way to our customers.
Once the kava roots are harvested, they undergo a meticulous process of cleaning, drying, and grinding. We pay close attention to every step of the production process to maintain the integrity and potency of the kava. Our goal is to preserve the traditional methods while incorporating modern techniques to achieve the highest quality kava.
We take great care in packaging and transporting our kava to ensure it arrives at its destination in optimal condition. The kava is carefully sealed to preserve its freshness and potency, allowing our customers to experience the true essence of Vanuatu's kava culture.
