Kava (Piper methysticum), a captivating plant from the Piperaceae family, originates from the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Islands. Its name, “kava,” comes from the Tongan and Marquesan languages, meaning “bitter”—a characteristic flavor that reflects its pepper family heritage.
The real magic of kava lies in its active compounds called kavalactones, most abundant in the roots. To prepare kava, these roots are finely ground into a powder and mixed with water, creating a traditional beverage.
But kava is more than just a drink—it’s a cultural tradition deeply rooted in Pacific Island life. Beyond refreshment, kava offers profound effects, serving as a relaxing social beverage. Many prefer it over alcohol or other substances for stress reduction and mood enhancement.
While traditionally consumed as a tea, kava has gained popularity worldwide, with various consumption methods available. Places like Ohana Kava Bar offer kava extracts, capsules, tinctures, and even ceremonial bowls for an authentic experience. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, cultural exploration, or simply curious about its effects, kava offers a unique journey worth exploring.🌿🌴🌺

We recommend that new people start with 1 12oz “shell” of Kava for their first experience. Kava has a reverse tolerance, meaning that the more frequently you consume it, the less that it takes to achieve the desired effects.
Kava may cause drowsiness and may therefore temporarily impair your ability to drive. We do not recommend anyone operate heavy machinery or drive a motor vehicle after drinking Kava.
Please familiarize yourself with our product by visiting our bookshelf to understand its risks and benefits and to make an informed decision if Kava Kava is right for you. If you have any medical condition or are taking ANY medication, we recommend consulting your physician before drinking Kava. We do not recommend the use of Kava in individuals who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol or have a history of abusing drugs or alcohol. We reserve the right to refuse service to individuals who we feel are intoxicated.
