What is Kava?
Kava is a drink from the South Pacific that helps you feel calm. People in places like Fiji, Vanuatu, and Tonga have been drinking kava for a long time, especially during special events. At KavaKist, we want to share this amazing drink with the world.
Matt Warren, who helped start Psychedelic Water, is one of those people who loves kava. He remembers a fun day in Madrid when he showed his friends kava for the first time, and they were very curious.
How Kava Came to Spain
Kava has been around for many years in the South Pacific. It came to Spain not too long ago because travelers and people who like natural health wanted a relaxing drink that wasn’t alcohol.
At first, only a few special shops and bars in Spain offered kava. But soon, more and more people and businesses started to like it.
Where to Find Kava in Spain
Kava Bars in Spain
Nowadays, kava is popular in Spanish cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. These cities are filled with both locals and people from other countries, making them perfect for kava bars.
In Madrid, there’s a famous kava bar called "La Cava de Kava." They serve kava in a fancy way. In Barcelona, "Elixir de Kava" is another popular spot, known for its creative kava drinks.
Buying Kava in Spain
You can also buy kava products like powders and drinks online or in health stores in Spain. This makes it easy for people to enjoy kava at home.
How Kava Fits into Spanish Culture
Spain is known for its relaxed lifestyle and love for socializing over drinks. Kava fits well with this. The way kava is made and shared is similar to Spain’s tapas culture, where people enjoy food and drinks together.
But there are differences too. In the South Pacific, kava ceremonies are very spiritual and community-focused. In Spain, people often drink kava casually, like they would with wine or cocktails.
There are also new Spanish kava drinks, like "Kava Sangria," that mix kava with local flavors.
