Traditional Kava Preparation

Talanoa Mada is a traditional kava powder, not an instant kava.

To prepare it traditionally, place the kava powder inside a kava strainer bag or traditional kava cloth, add water and knead the powder through the cloth.

A strainer bag is required for traditional preparation.

If you’re looking for a kava that simply mixes into water without straining, see our Instant Kava products instead.
