Borogoru Single Cultivar Instant Green Kava
A Classic Evening Kava: Gradual, Deeply Mellow, Grounding
One of the most popular kava cultivars in Vanuatu, Borogoru is prized for its balanced-heavy character and mellow profile. This classic evening kava is known for its slow, gradual onset and prolonged, complex character, a favourite among those who enjoy a deeper, more grounding kava experience.
Character: Balanced-heavy with a grounding body character and gradual mellowness, slower and deeper than heady varieties. Character builds gradually over 30-45 minutes and lasts considerably longer than lighter cultivars. Traditionally enjoyed in late afternoon or evening. A favourite for body refreshment after strenuous physical effort.
Taste & Aroma: Peppery and herbal with hints of sweetness. Flavour combines spice with fresh, grassy notes and bitter 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.

Outstanding product and speedy delivery service. Keeps me returning many times.
For an overthinker and worrier Kava is great to help calm the nerves and relax without the horrid side affects of alcohol
I had a sachet before bed and had a beautiful nights sleep.
Nice flush of euphoria only lasts 20mins then very mild buzz persists for 1hr or so very convenient but a little pricey
A fantastic cultivar!
The brorogoru is my favourite out of the instant kava range. It is quite heavy yet you still get a good 1 to 2 hours of euphoria before the true body load and krunkiness kicks in. Can definitely make you a bit wobbly. I enjoy this kava in a higher dose than most other kavas and find it builds to a very nice plateau at about the 1 and a half hour mark, drinking on empty stomach. I like to load 2 or 3 shells first then do big shells every half hour. I've watched entire series on a session of this stuff and thoroughly enjoyed myself the n tried to watch the show without kava and find it very boring. A great relaxation, appreciation and muscle melting cultivar. This one can sneak up on you if you are not careful. My favourite way to enjoy this kava is a rainy night sitting outside appreciating life feeling the kavalcones swirl through your mind and body. I find this kava to be a good alcohol replacement after a hard day, it can have lingering effects the next day, but only if you over do it. I have been sober from alcohol for 1 year and 3 months thanks to using this cultivar to scratch that booze itch when it gets really bad. Note I can be doing 50 grams and upwards per session to scratch this itch. I'm a 95 kg male.
Fave ! Longest lasting
Good stuff - was an interesting taste to get used to, but felt extremely relaxed and ready for a good night's sleep after taking. would highly recommend
Great
This is the strongest Kava I ever had, and this even as instant version. Normally instant versions are more heady and not as sedating. This instant is special. This kava is able to bring you into the state of 'It is hard to walk' at high doses. Very strong kava that I can't really describe - it's just very strong. Great kava now and then.

Good quality, almost too relaxing for me. I wanted something for evening unwinding but this puts me to sleep within an hour. Saving it for nights when I really need to switch off. [Originally submitted via previous website]

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.
Every Batch Tested
Our kava undergoes comprehensive testing using UHPLC analysis (superior to standard HPLC), full microbiological screening, and chemotype verification in an advanced in-house laboratory. Every batch comes with complete certificates of analysis and exceeds FSANZ Standard 2.6.3 requirements.
