For Kava Connoisseurs
Hawaiian ʻAwa
Ships after 7 August 2026. Orders placed now will be dispatched after this date.
We are pleased to be the first European store to offer kava from Hawaii. Hawaiian ʻawa is difficult and expensive to source, so we offer this rare batch only in small 150g pouches.
Discover a different side of kava with this distinctive Hawaiian ʻawa, selected for experienced kava drinkers who want to explore beyond the more familiar Vanuatu, Fijian and Tongan varieties.
Made from Piper methysticum root, this batch has been laboratory tested at 7.59% total kavalactones and classified as Noble Kava, with a chemotype of 426531. Kavain is the most prominent kavalactone, closely followed by dihydrokavain, creating a rounded profile that combines an uplifting initial character with deeper physical relaxation.

The Experience
This Hawaiian ʻawa is likely to begin with a pleasantly heady, sociable and mentally relaxing character before gradually developing into a warmer, more grounded body effect. Its profile sits between bright daytime kavas and deeply sedating varieties. It is not expected to be extremely stimulating or intensely heavy; instead, it offers a layered experience that becomes more physical with continued servings.
Profile Notes
- Balanced rather than overwhelmingly heavy
- Gently heady during the first few servings
- Relaxing through the body as the session develops
- Smooth, calming and suited to an unhurried evening
- For experienced kava drinkers seeking something new

A Distinctively Balanced Profile
