Why plant age matters
The plants are aged over six years, which gives them up to 50% more kavalactones than younger plants. That is what makes our kava incredibly potent, and much stronger and more pure than other kava.
Three cuts from the same plants
Lawena is ground from the basal stem: milder, smoother and usually lighter in colour. Waka is ground from the lateral roots: stronger, earthier and typically darker. The whole root blend is both, so it sits in the middle. All three are traditional grind at $60 per pound.
What a number doesn’t tell you
A kavalactone figure describes one property of the root. It doesn’t tell you how kava will affect you, and it isn’t a safety guarantee. This site doesn’t give medical advice.
