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.
