Plant Biology

Kava is a shrub that can grow up to six meters in height. It has large, heart-shaped leaves and small, green or yellow flowers. The plant is native to humid, tropical climates and grows best in well-draining, nutrient dense soil with plenty of air flow and rain. It favors temperatures of 70–95 °F (21–35 °C) and 70–100% humidity. Kava shrubs tend to produce approximately 50 kg (110 lb.) of root material that can be harvested.

The kava root has two distinct sections. First are the lateral roots, which are slender roots that are like common plant roots. Lateral roots contain the largest concentration of the bioactive compounds. The other section is known as the crown/basal root, which is a thick mass that resides at the base of the plant. Traditionally, plants are harvested around four years of age, as older plants have higher concentrations of Kavalactones.

Traditional and Historical Uses:

Kava has a long history of use for medicinal, religious, cultural, and social practices in the Pacific Islands, particularly in Hawai’i, Vanuatu, Fiji, and other places within Polynesia and Melanesia, where indigenous groups have great respect for the plant.

Kava is commonly used in traditional ceremonies and social gatherings. It is consumed in drink form, made from the ground kava root that is worked into water. The milky liquid is served in a coconut shell or other vessel. Kava drinking ceremonies are often accompanied by chanting, music, and dancing.

The largest number of kava cultivars are grown in the Republic of Vanuatu, which is recognized as the “home” of kava. Historically, kava was only found to be grown in the Pacific islands of Hawaii, Federated States of Micronesia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga.
