Finally it has arrived. Without a doubt our favourite kava of all time. 
Smells like cookies and cream and tastes as smooth as kava should. 

For an uplifting mood changing delicious kava drink look no further. Platinum Lewena is comes in a super fine grind so you get the most out of every granule of kava in the bag. Zero wastage means you can use less kava for the same effect. 

Best Kava Use

Royal Fiji Kava Platinum Lewena is best used during the day and for social occasions. 
This kava will not put you straight to sleep and will give you an uplifted calm that is unlike any other kava on the market. 

Perfectly used with the Kava Pros Shaker Pro Kava Bag.

Kava Features

Platinum Lewena is 6yrs old and removed from the waka root so its the strongest most potent lewena you will find. 

Super fine grind will give you the most bang for your buck and there are no unusable particles in the bag.

Only 1-2 tablespoons per 600ml water. Due to the grind of this kava you are able to use significantly less for the exact same mix strength.

Perfectly dried so there is no need to vacuum pack this product. It will come with a 2yr expiry date. 

Cultivar: Kasa Loa Balavu
Flavour Profile: Sweet nutty scent with a mild vanila flavour.
What you can expect: Royal Fiji Platinum Lewena is not a heavy kava and is considered more of a heady product. You will need to drink a lot more in order to get the sedative effect but its an absolute pleasure to drink. 
Great uplifting feeling and a perfect refreshing drink for the daytime or to enjoy with good company.

Why Buy From Us

With so many kava brands coming into Australia it makes it hard to choose a quality product. Not anymore!

Not Your Average Importer

At Kava Pros we don't import crazy amounts of kava which means that our kava is always fresh. Australia is not a huge market for kava despite what many suppliers think. Importing hundreds of kilos is not going to do anyone any good. If not packed or dried correctly kava can go bad very fast due to high moisture content coupled with the Australian autumn & winter seasons. This is why we only import what we know we can sell and drink ourselves. 

Preparation is the Key

Kava Pros have been involved in the agro-processing industry in Fiji for over 2 decades the knowledge and experience in kava processing is second to none. We know all our farmers and also process our own product. Kava Pros regularly inspect their facilities and never deal with backyard processors or middlemen. 

Kava Pros ensures all kava is processed and packed to international standards. Although we can't divulge our secrets to processing a superior kava product, the proof is always in the pudding. 

Packaging for Freshness

All our kava is vacuum packed so it stays fresh for longer. In Fiji much of our drinking kava is packed in paper bags. With the tropical climate most excess moisture in the kava is absorbed by the paper leaving less room for the growth of pathogens. Unfortunately in the Aussie climate this does not happen especially in the colder months. 
Any kava drinker in Australia will tell you that kava can develop a mouldy smell quite quickly. With thousands of kilos being imported into Australia without the proper preparation or packaging there will no doubt be tonnes of bad kava for sale right now. 

KNOW YOUR KAVA 

WAKA - Lateral Root

This is the business end of the kava root where the majority of the kavalactones is held.
Its strong, hard hitting and a dark colour when mixed. If your kava looks dark in colour you can be sure it is a waka dominant powder. 

Lewena - Basal Root

This is the less potent part of the root system and located just above the waka and below the stem. Its smooth milky and plesent tasting though you will need to drink a lot more in order to feel the effect. 

Kasa - Stem (Buyer Beware)

The kasa is used by dishonest sellers to bulk up the weight of thier product and it is truly an ugly part of the kava trade. Kasa should only be used for replanting. When pounded up with waka and lewena there is really no way to tell what it is you're drinking. The only way to tell is when you feel sick and hungover the next day. 

Kava pros can confirm we never use kasa or stem in any of our kava products. 

Kava Pros do not buy or trade kava less than 3 years old. Kava Pros firmly believe that kava root should be left in the ground for an absolute minimum of 3 years.
We do not encourage our farmers to harvest their crop unless its at least 3 years old.
