Kava Strainer Bag
We aim to dispatch on the next working day. NZ delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Two strainer bags, both 30 × 20 cm, both reusable and machine washable. They make a different cup, so pick the one that matches how you like your kava.
Food-grade nylon: clean and light
The finer mesh at 75 microns holds back more of the root, so the cup is clean and smooth. With fewer solids in it, it sits light. Nylon is the sturdier of the two. It handles years of hard kneading and rinses clean in seconds.
Organic cotton: thick and full-bodied
GOTS-certified organic cotton, for anyone who wants a plastic-free bowl. The weave is more open, so more of the fine root particles come through. Kava is a suspension, so those particles carry the good stuff, and the cup comes out thick and full-bodied. It's a little stronger too. Cotton is softer and wears in with use, so give it a firm squeeze and dry it fully between sessions, and it will see you through plenty of them.
Which one?
Like a clean, light shell and a bag that lasts for years? Go nylon.
Like it thick and a bit stronger, or want to keep plastic out of the bowl? Go cotton.
Care
Rinse well after every use. Machine wash at 60°C, ideally with a fragrance-free detergent, or hand wash with soap and warm water. Air dry completely. Both bags take on a kava tint over time, which is normal. Replace the bag once the fabric shows wear.
How to use it
Traditional method: Add your kava to the bag and place it in an empty bowl. Pour cold or lukewarm water directly into the bag, let it sit for a few minutes to loosen the tougher fibres, then twist the top closed, press out the air, and knead the bag in the water for about 10 minutes, wringing it out regularly. Finish with a firm squeeze so no root particles escape into your beverage.
Blender method: We don't recommend it. Blending chops the fibres fine enough to pass through the bag, and our testing with Root and Pestle found it extracts less than kneading does. If you do blend, use cold water at 1g of powder per 15ml, blend for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain through the bag and squeeze thoroughly.

Excellent bag, cant fault it 👌
Best strainer I’ve ever used. I used a thick cloth previously to strain my kava but it didn’t allow the kava to seep through the fabric. However, this kava strainer is perfect! Best buy for strainers
Great bag for straining kava
Glad I got strainer bag along with Kava here. It’s indeed different from the other bag you can get out there. Won’t leak powder to the liquid.
Great strainer bag
Very good
The best bag we've used, extractions are much cleaner and easier in the stomach. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into the design.
Definitely one of the better strainer bags. A good size and durable.
If you're doing traditional prep you need one of these. Machine washable and makes a smooth grog every time. [Originally submitted via previous website]
Had mine for over a year, still in good condition. Wash after each use and it holds up well. [Originally submitted via previous website]
Functions perfectly, no issues there. I'd personally prefer a cotton or hemp option rather than synthetic. Works great though. [Originally submitted via previous website]
Was using cheesecloth before - messy. This is easier and the kava comes out smoother. [Originally submitted via previous website]
It's a strainer bag. Works well. Still going after 4 months of regular use which is more than I can say for cheaper ones. [Originally submitted via previous website]

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.
