Our kava ships from Fiji as whole root. Rakesh, the owner, grinds it fresh to order at our San Bruno location. Bay Kava sells traditional grind only.

Ground from the basal stems, the lower stump where the plant meets its roots. Milder and smoother than waka, and usually lighter in colour.
Ground from the lateral roots that spread out from the stump. Stronger and earthier than lawena and typically darker: the strongest of the three.
Lawena and waka ground together from the whole root, so it sits in the middle: fuller than lawena, smoother than waka.
All three come from the same plants, aged over six years. The difference is the part of the plant: lawena from the basal stem, waka from the lateral roots, the blend from both.
Coarsely ground root. Knead it in water inside a fine strainer bag, wring it out, and discard the fibre.
Needs: Strainer bag, large bowl, water
$60 per pound. A half pound is $30.
