Fiji
Premium kava sourcing from the volcanic islands of Fiji, where traditional farming meets modern quality standards.
The Republic of Fiji
Fiji is an archipelago of more than 330 islands in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean. Known for its pristine beaches, coral reefs, and lush rainforests, Fiji has been cultivating kava for over 3,000 years, making it one of the oldest and most respected kava-producing nations.
The volcanic soil of Fiji's main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, provides ideal growing conditions for kava. The combination of rich minerals, adequate rainfall, and tropical climate produces kava with distinctive flavor profiles and potent kavalactone concentrations.
Fijian kava culture is deeply intertwined with social and ceremonial life. The traditional yaqona ceremony remains an important part of Fijian customs, used to welcome guests, seal agreements, and mark important occasions.

Fijian Kava Cultivars
Fiji produces several distinctive kava varieties, each with unique characteristics suited to different preferences and uses.
Waka
The most prized Fijian kava variety, made exclusively from the lateral roots of the plant. Waka produces a stronger, more potent effect with higher kavalactone concentrations.
Lewena
Made from the stump and basal roots of the kava plant. Lewena has a milder, smoother taste and is often preferred for daily drinking due to its gentler effects.
Loa Waka
A specific Waka variety known for its dark color and exceptionally high kavalactone content. Considered one of the finest kava varieties available.
