The root. Kava, Piper methysticum, is a Pacific Island shrub whose root has been ground, kneaded in water and shared from a bowl across Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Hawaii for centuries. An extract powder is the modern shortcut to the same root, concentrated so that a spoon does what a full bowl of prepared root would.

Kavalactone profile. Six major kavalactones give kava its character:

• Kavain and dihydrokavain: the bright, quick, sociable end
• Methysticin and dihydromethysticin: slower and more body-present
• Yangonin and desmethoxyyangonin: slow building, rounding out the profile

Extract or traditional root. Ground root has to be kneaded in water and strained through a bag, which takes ten minutes and a bowl, and it gives you the whole root including the fibre and the starch. An extract powder skips all of that. It is cleaner in the glass, far smaller by volume, and it is also why the serving is a fraction of what you would use in root. Do not measure an extract the way you would measure a medium grind.

How to use it.

• In a warm drink: tea, coconut milk or hot water. Kavalactones are fat soluble, so milk or a little coconut oil disperses them better than water alone.
• In a smoothie: the fat in a smoothie base does the same job, and it covers the bitterness.
• Directly: possible and strongly bitter. Have a drink ready.

Numbness in the mouth and on the tongue is normal for kava and passes in a few minutes.

Cautions.

• Do not combine with alcohol
• Do not combine with prescription medications or other supplements without guidance from a healthcare professional
• Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you
• Not for use during pregnancy or nursing
• Not for use by those under 18. Follow local kava regulations
• Keep out of reach of children

Storage. Sealed, cool, dry and dark. Kava extract powder takes on moisture and cakes if the container is left open.

The rest of the kava line. A gentler powder is the water soluble 5% kavalactone extract. Pastes are CO2 85% and CO2 70%. Traditional root is Vanuatu, Fiji and Tongan medium grind, and there are capsules if you would rather not taste it. Everything is in the Kava Collection.

Common questions

• How does this compare to medium grind root? It is far more concentrated, so the portion is much smaller, and there is nothing to knead or strain.
• Why mix it with something fatty? Kavalactones are fat soluble. Milk, coconut milk or a smoothie base carries them better than plain water.
• Why does my mouth go numb? That is a normal property of kavalactones on contact, and it fades within minutes.
• Is it bitter? Strongly. Most people mix it rather than taking it dry.
• Is this a beginner kava? No. The label recommends it for experienced kava users. A traditional grind or the 5% water soluble extract is the better starting point.
