Premium Lewena Kava – Traditional Fijian Basal Root Kava

Experience the unique character of Premium Lewena Kava, a traditional Fijian kava made from the basal roots of mature kava plants. Known in Fiji as Lewena, these basal roots are prized for their smooth, mellow character and heady kava experience.

Our Premium Lewena is sourced from Savusavu, Fiji, a region well known for producing high-quality kava. The roots are from mature, approximately 5-year-old kava plants, carefully sun-dried and traditionally medium ground for preparation using a kava strainer cloth.

With a naturally smooth and mellow taste and a lighter color, this is a great choice for kava drinkers who enjoy a lighter, easy-going and heady kava profile.

Traditional Medium-Grind Kava

Premium Lewena is a medium-grind kava powder, not an instant kava.

To prepare it traditionally, you’ll need a kava strainer bag or traditional kava cloth. The powder is mixed with water and kneaded through the strainer cloth to produce the traditional kava beverage.

If you’re looking for instant kava that simply mixes into water, this is not an instant product.
