Pacific Islands Heritage
Kava Kava (Piper methysticum) is a plant native to the South Pacific islands. Its name in Polynesian language means "bitter root". This remarkable plant has been cultivated for over 3000 years by the peoples of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
The Kava root has traditionally been used by Polynesian communities in ceremonies and rituals as a symbol of harmony and community. Today, we continue this legacy by offering premium natural botanical colorants from noble Kava varieties.

Traditional Ceremonies
Traditionally, Kava root was prepared and used during religious ceremonies, social gatherings, and rites of passage. In Pacific culture, Kava symbolized unity, respect, and social harmony.
Kava ceremonies were occasions for resolving conflicts, making agreements, and celebrating important events. The drink was prepared by grinding the roots and mixing them with water in a traditional wooden bowl called "tanoa."
"For over 3000 years, Pacific peoples have used Kava root in ceremonies and rituals."
