Expect to feel relaxed, at peace, and ready to socialize, all without the "checked out" feelings that drugs or alcohol may produce.

All our kava cultivars are sustainably grown and harvested rather than wild-crafted by not using chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Most kava farms are very small, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand plants, no more. Farms are made by clearing the small trees of the forest. The big trees that support the soil are left alone and used as shade, since kava grows better under shade. After two crop cycles, the forest is left alone to grow back. Kava supports hundreds of thousands of families and local economy on these small islands.
