What’s This Kavalovetone Capsule?

Dana asked: I’ve heard a lot about “kavalovetone” which is supposed to be a replacement for the kavalactone liquigels that you’ve been out of stock on forever now. Can you give me more information about them? Have you received any customer reviews about them yet? Makaira says: After many hours of research, utilizing a combination of science and alchemy to create an alternative for the 84% Kavalactone Liquigels that are not presently available, we came up with this exceptional product that uses 15 of the most pure extracts from some of the most relaxing botanical herbs...

Kava Reintegration of Fiji Inmates

Aloha! I was reading the Fiji Times this morning and came across an interesting article on the Archbishop of the Catholic Church of Fiji who conducted a kava ceremony in a prison, as part of reintegrating prisoners back into society. In the article, Archbishop Petero Mataca reminded inmates of “the importance of educating themselves more about their traditional protocols. Archbishop Mataca visited the Naboro Maximum Security Prison and addressed men convicted for murder, rape and violent robberies, stressing the need to touch base with traditional protocols and customs. He addressed...

While taking my time away I remembered life is a continuous cycle which ebbs and flows like the ocean’s waves on our sandy shores. The question that kept coming up for me was what is life without passion? Living a...

Shredded or Powder – Which is Better?

Mike asked: Your kava is definitely the best I have tasted of the five or six kinds I have had. It is also the second strongest kind that I have had (I had some Mo’i kava which, although even stronger, was much more difficult to drink). Anyway, the first time I bought kava from you, I was very surprised with how finely ground it was. I put it in my strainer the way that I did with kava in the past but nearly all of it ended up in the water. I drank it anyway and found it good aside from when I got to the end of the bowl and it was powdery. I just added some more water and was able to...

Do You Ship to Canada?

Bill asked: Glad to see you have a blog because it shows that this company has a more human face to it, besides just information/products. I’m interested in buying Kava but you can’t find it in Canada. Will you guys ship to Canada? Makaira says: Yes! Although there are some restrictions on Kava use in Canada, the ban has been lifted and at this time it is perfectly legal for us to ship our lovely kava to you anywhere in Canada! Enjoy!...
