Bir Kar Single Cultivar Instant Green Kava
Instant version of our Bir Kar Single Cultivar Traditional Grind Kava. Bir Kar is a fast-acting cultivar offering a quick mental refreshment followed by pleasant muscle relaxation. This aromatic kava is particularly good for shorter sessions, mind and body refreshment after a long day, and joyful socialising.
Just like our bestselling Instant Green Kava blend, this instant kava is made by dehydrating fresh kava juice (obtained through a cold water extraction and careful filtration of freshly harvested, peeled kava roots) until all that remains are the pure instant granules that you can mix directly with water or your favourite juice. The resulting kava is impressively potent and yet smooth, easy to drink and as close to drinking fresh kava on the islands as one can get.
Recommended serving size: one heaping teaspoon (apx 7-8g) per 200ml and a total of 2 teaspoons (15-16g) per session.
Island of Origin: Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
Average Laterals to Stump Ratio: 30-70
Typical Chemotype: 423561
Processing: Fully washed and peeled. Dried in a temperature-controlled dehydrator.
Effects: Provides more of a cerebral/heady feeling, has a euphoric effect, rapid onset with short life.
Flavour profile: Roasted peanuts, black pepper, chocolate.
Price excludes GST. GST will be added during checkout for New Zealand-based customers.

How to use it?
This product does not require straining. Instead, you can mix it directly with water or your favourite soft drink. We recommend using 10-15g of powder per session (about 5-8 per serving), but note that each person requires a different amount to feel and enjoy its effects. Detailed preparation instructions can be found here.
Note: Our unique instant kava production method does a great job when it comes to capturing and retaining the effect profile of each distinct cultivar. However, it’s admittedly not as good at retaining each cultivars’ distinct aroma and flavour profile as the drying technique employed in the making of our traditional grind kava powders. In general, instant kava can be thought of as the kava equivalent of fine instant coffee. It offers incredible convenience, ease of preparation and flexibility, but just like instant coffee isn’t exactly the same as freshly ground coffee beans, instant kava doesn’t retain as much body and aroma as traditional powder. Hence, those with extra time on their hands and those who wish to explore, experience and enjoy single kava cultivars in their full richness and glory should consider trying the traditional grind versions of our single cultivars.
