The sacred kava plant has
been enjoyed by the people of the Pacific Islands for
countless generations. Its renowned ability to lessen
social anxiety and stress make it a natural to feature
in a bar. The kava bar is thought to have originated in
Vanuatu, although they are springing up more frequently
(including in Boca Raton, Florida) as more people find
out about kava's tremendously beneficial effects.
The kava bar was originally referred to as a nakamal,
and these could be as rustic as a gathering under a
particularly large tree, or perhaps a tin-roofed shed,
where you could enjoy kava in the company of friends.
Now, you'll find a number of more "upscale" kava bars
opening up in Vanuatu and even in Hawaii.
Kava bars, true to their name, generally only serve one
thing--kava drinks. Some of the more sophisticated kava
bars might serve variations on kava such as chocolate
kava, or kava and juice drinks, but the basis is always
kava. Kava bars are also always intended to be social
gathering places. Kava's community-strengthening powers
have prompted some to say that there are no strangers in
a kava bar.
Here at Kona Kava Farm, we know that for many on "the
mainland" there simply are no local kava bar options. We
make it possible to still enjoy potent and relaxing kava
even if you are nowhere near a kava bar. We grow and
ship the highest quality dried kava root, in addition to
a number of kava mixes that we've developed (including a
super-tasty chai). We hope everyone gets to experience
the healthy effects of kava consumption, whether or not
you have access to a kava bar. |
