Santo's Red-Stemmed Cultivar: Fast, Clean, Two-Stage

Named after its distinctive reddish stems ("kar" means red), Bir Kar is a rare cultivar grown in the heartland of Espiritu Santo. Known for its two-stage character, a quick cerebral brightness followed by body relaxation, Bir Kar is good for refreshing mind and body after a long day, or for social sessions where you want a clear head.

Character: Fast onset. A clear, noticeable cerebral lift, not sharp or jittery, then a settling into body relaxation. Balanced-heady, and the instant runs cleaner and brighter than the traditional grind. Popular for shorter sessions and social gatherings.

Taste & Aroma: Aromatic profile with notes of roasted peanuts, black pepper, and dark chocolate.

Instant Format: Traditional kava powder contains coarse, woody fibres that must be strained out before drinking. For our instant kava, freshly harvested roots are washed, peeled, and have these fibres carefully removed prior to drying and milling into an ultra-fine powder. This is why you can enjoy it without any straining or kneading, just mix with water.

Origin: Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
Chemotype: 423165 (typical)
Processing: Freshly harvested roots, coarse fibres removed, temperature-controlled dehydration, precision milled
Laterals-to-stump: Natural (30-70%)

Kavalactone Ratios (batch averages):
K to DHM: 5.36
K to DHK: 1.53
DHK to Y: 1.20
Kavalactone ratios shift with soil, altitude, plant age and harvest, and instant runs a different profile to traditional grind, so every batch is a little different. The COA for your specific batch has the actual numbers.

Preparation: Mix 8g (1 heaping teaspoon or one sachet) per cup with 200-250ml water. Start with 2-3 cups per session. Complete preparation guide.

Note: Instant processing prioritises convenience and consistency. Traditional grind offers fuller aroma and flavour complexity. Learn more about kava forms.

Very nice, I have a painful body in the morning and it’s great to be able to easily mix and drink to ease into the day. Later I can faff about with traditional!

Loving my new found Kava journey. I get bouts of extreme 'Black-Dog' and this has bought me back from the brink of dark thoughts many a time . Not 100% sure but i felt this particual strain ,Bir kar , also acted a a slight appetite suppressant, haha the old waistband is grateful if so

My first time have kava and this is making me want to try more. I am in the US at the moment so it is a wait so for the time being I'm going to order from a more local store but will move forward thinking this as the threshold of quality

Organically Grown Noble Kava

100% pure noble kava from pristine volcanic soils. Our farmers cultivate specific single cultivars in regions best suited for each variety. Each plant matures for at least three years using traditional organic farming methods passed down through generations.

Always Processed from Fresh

Each batch is made from kava harvested to order, never from old village-dried stock. Plants are inspected on arrival for the right cultivar, for freshness, and for contamination. Anything that doesn’t pass is rejected.

Cleaned and Dried to Fresh Perfection

Freshly harvested roots are meticulously cleaned and dried using bespoke methods developed over years of research and refinement. The process preserves potency, fresh aroma, and active compounds. Each batch is then vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed to lock in freshness.
