Where South Pacific Kava Comes From

South Pacific kava has a long history going back thousands of years. People in the South Pacific have used kava in ceremonies to mark important events and bring communities together. It’s very special in places like Fiji, Vanuatu, and Tonga. In these places, kava ceremonies are a big part of social life, helping everyone relax and feel close to each other.

A Cool Story: Matt Warren’s Island Adventure

Imagine a beautiful island in Vanuatu. This is where Matt Warren, co-founder of Psychedelic Water, first discovered the magic of South Pacific kava. One night under the stars, Matt was invited to a kava ceremony. There were drums, chants, and the smell of freshly made kava. “It felt like stepping into another world,” Matt says. This amazing experience inspired him to share kava with more people through Psychedelic Water.

What Makes South Pacific Kava Special

South Pacific kava is known for its many different types. Each type has a unique taste and effect. For example, Tongan kava is gentle and calming, while Vanuatuan kava can make you feel really happy.

How to Make Kava: From Root to Drink

Making South Pacific kava is like a special ritual. The roots are dried in the sun, then ground into a powder. This powder is mixed with cold water and strained to make a thick drink. Nowadays, you can also add kava powder to smoothies or mix it with coconut milk.
