Savusavu Origin Noble Kava Review
A strong peppery taste and will get you to the relaxation point fast. We recommend 1-2 tablespoons per 500ml of water for quick relaxation.
1 x 500ml session should give you that heady sensation but 2 x 500ml sessions will go straight to the body leaving you with a full body sensation.
Drink in 100ml shots every 10-15min so that 1 x 600ml serve is approximately 5-6 cups stretched out over a period of 45min - 1hr.
This is a waka dominant variety and extremely effective. However the more you drink the harder it will be to wake up the next day, with the best sleep ever.
Arrives vacuum packed so the potency, freshness and flavour is locked into the bag. You will not find a stronger kava than this for the money.
A traditional grind means you will need a strainer bag but its well worth the effort.
Strongly recommended for those who wish to have a substitute for alcohol or a simple and effective after work drink.
Please note this is not an instant kava and you will require a strainer cloth for this product. Available Here
WHY BUY FROM KAVAPROS
With so many kava brands coming into Australia it makes it hard to choose a quality product. Not anymore!
Not Your Average Kava Vendors
At Kava Pros we ensure every single root is graded, dried and processed to perfection before sealing each bag. If not processed, packed or dried correctly kava can go bad very fast due to high moisture content especially during the Australian autumn & winter seasons. This is why we take extra care with each bag that holds the Kava Pros and Royal Fiji Kava label.
Preparation is the Key
Kava Pros have been involved in the agro-processing industry in Fiji for over 2 decades the knowledge and experience in kava processing is second to none. We know all our farmers and also process our own product. Kava Pros regularly inspect their facilities and never deal with backyard processors or middlemen.
Kava Pros ensures all kava is processed and packed to international standards. Although we can't divulge our secrets to processing a superior kava product, the proof is always in the pudding.
Packaging for Freshness
In Fiji much of our drinking kava is packed in paper bags. With the tropical climate most excess moisture in the kava is absorbed by the paper leaving less room for the growth of pathogens. Unfortunately in the Aussie climate this does not happen especially in the colder months.
Any kava drinker in Australia will tell you that kava can develop a mouldy smell quite quickly. With thousands of kilos being imported into Australia without the proper preparation or packaging there will no doubt be tonnes of bad kava for sale right now.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is kava?
Kava powder is derived from the root of the kava plant (Piper methysticum) and is traditionally used in Pacific Island cultures for its relaxing and calming effects.
2. How is kava powder consumed?
Kava powder is typically mixed with water to create a beverage. The traditional method involves kneading and straining the powdered root in water to extract the active compounds.
3. What does kava taste like?
Kava has a unique taste that is often described as earthy, bitter, and slightly peppery. Some people find the taste challenging, and it may take time to acquire a taste for it.
4. How long does it take for kava to take effect?
The onset of kava's effects can vary, but it is generally felt within 20-30 minutes of consumption. Effects can last a few hours depending on how much is consumed.
5. Is kava consumption safe?
When consumed in moderation, kava is considered safe for most people. However, excessive and prolonged use may cause dry skin know in Fiji as Kani-Kani. Individuals with pre-existing liver conditions should consult a healthcare professional before using kava.
6. What are the potential side effects of kava consumption?
Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, euphoria and mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
7. Can kava be addictive?
Kava is not considered addictive in any way shape or form.
8. Is kava legal Australia?
Kava is legal in all states of Australia except the Northern Territory.
9. Can I drive or operate machinery after consuming kava?
It is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery, especially when you are not familiar with how kava affects you. Kava can cause drowsiness and impair coordination in some individuals. Kava cannot be detected on police breath test.
10. Can I mix kava with other substances, like alcohol?
NO! Mixing kava with alcohol or other substances is not advised, as it may amplify the sedative effects and increase the risk of adverse reactions. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you are taking medications or have concerns about potential interactions.
11. Are there any specific guidelines for kava consumption?
We recommed drinking 100-150ml shots every 10-15min. If you are just starting out I would recommend mixing approximately 1lt of water with 5-6tbspn of kava powder.
This should be consumed within 45min to 1hr.
12. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women consume kava?
- It is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women to avoid kava, as its safety in these situations has not been well studied. With that said many women in the Pacific drink moderate amounts of kava during pregnancy.
Remember, individual responses to kava can vary, and it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any specific health concerns or conditions.
KNOW YOUR KAVA
WAKA - LATERAL ROOT
This is the business end of the kava root where the majority of the kavalactones is held.
Its strong, hard hitting and a dark colour when mixed. If your kava looks dark in colour you can be sure it is a waka dominant powder.
LEWENA - BASAL ROOT
This is the less sedative part of the root system and located just above the waka and below the stem. Its smooth milky and plesent tasting and perfect for social occasions.
Kasa - Stem (Buyer Beware)
The kasa is used by dishonest sellers to bulk up the weight of thier product and it is truly an ugly part of the kava trade. Kasa should only be used for replanting. When pounded up with waka and lewena there is really no way to tell what it is you're drinking. The only way to tell is when you feel sick and hungover the next day.
Kava pros can confirm we never use kasa or stem in any of our kava products.
Kava Pros do not buy or trade kava less than 3 years old. Kava Pros firmly believe that kava root should be left in the ground for an absolute minimum of 3 years.
We do not encourage our farmers to harvest their crop unless its at least 3 years old.
