Pacific Elixir Traditional Kava

Our Flagship Blend: Balanced, Potent, Versatile

A carefully crafted blend of premium Vanuatu cultivars, Pacific Elixir delivers balanced character that suits both newcomers and experienced kava drinkers. Mentally refreshing with peaceful calmness and pleasant relaxation—potent without being overly heavy. This versatile kava works equally well as an evening wind-down, social companion, or aid to contemplation and creative thinking.

Character: Thoughtfully balanced, combining the finest qualities of multiple cultivars for consistent, well-rounded character. Ideal starting point before exploring more tailored single cultivar experiences. Surprisingly potent—high kavalactone content delivers strong character despite approachable profile. While specific cultivars may vary batch-to-batch, we maintain the balanced profile, potency, and pleasant character. Light-coloured beverage that belies its strength.

Taste & Aroma: Selected cultivars known for lower bitterness. Complex nutty and peppery flavour with notes of white chocolate, liquorice, and spices. Pleasant and approachable.

Traditional Grind Format: Peeled kava root ground into a medium-grind powder. Contains the root's indigestible fibres, so it needs to be kneaded and strained before drinking using a strainer bag.

Origin: Vanuatu (blend of premium cultivars)
Typical Chemotype: 423615 or similar
Processing: Fully washed, peeled, temperature-controlled drying
Laterals-to-stump: on average 40-60%

Preparation: Use ~16g per cup with 200-250ml water. Start with 2-3 cups per session. Complete preparation guide.
