Vanuatu Kava FAQs
What is Melomelo kava?
Melomelo is a noble kava cultivar from Vanuatu. Art of Kava offers traditional Melomelo as well as a more potent 100% lateral-root version.
What is single-cultivar kava?
Single-cultivar kava comes from one identified cultivar rather than combining several cultivars into a blend. This allows you to know exactly which cultivar you're drinking and makes it easier to compare different kavas.
Does Vanuatu kava need to be strained?
Traditional ground Vanuatu kava generally requires kneading and straining. Instant kava and kava extracts offer alternatives that don't require traditional preparation.
It has been 27 years since I tried kava, and back then I dropped an arm and a leg on a product far inferior to this. I put about a half gram of this into a shaker cup with some lemonade, shook it, and drank it slow. It has much more of an effect than I expected. I came down with fibromyalgia recently and a lot of downers, I just can't catch a buzz off of any more. This was a pleasant surprise, and I expect I'll be buying more.
Hey, So happy this is working well for you! Its always great to hear how this is helping get thru issues like that. Bula!
I am very happy with this product. I've purchased it multiple times. Easy to prepare, nice strength and not too heavy. I do find straining it helps, otherwise I end up with some mild stomach upset, but overall, a great choice if you're looking for something of quality that can be made without much hassle.
I got a euphoric feeling that crept up about an hour after a couple drinks. Slept well, very relaxing. the texture is creamy and tasty (if you enjoy the taste of kava)
