KNOW YOUR KAVA
WAKA - LATERAL ROOT
This is the business end of the Kava root where the majority of the Kavalactones is held.
It's 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. It's smooth milky and pleasant 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 their 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.
Royal Fiji Kava can confirm we never use Kasa or stem in any of our Kava products.
Royal Fiji Kava do not buy or trade Kava less than 3 years old. Royal Fiji Kava 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.
