What Is a Pea-Sized Kava Paste Serving?
Something we get asked an awful lot here is what the heck is a “pea-sized” serving that we suggest for our Kava paste? We understand that it’s an unconventional measuring system, and although we thought it was simple, customers seem to be having some trouble with the measure. So, we’re here to help! How about something conventional when measuring out your Kavalactone doses? We’ve weighed and re-reweighed product, we’ve looked at it from every angle, and it turns out that 2 pea-sized amounts of Kavalactone Paste equal almost exactly 1/8 of a teaspoon!...

Read MoreSynergistic Herbal Combinations – Are Kava Blends Safe?
Aloha everyone! Recently, I posted an article about our Kavalovetone product, which is a blend of kava and a number of other healing herbs. One of our readers left a comment expressing concern that it is blended herbal combinations, such our Kavalovetone, which are responsible for the cases of liver failure that have tarnished kava’s good name in the west for so many years now. I’d like to take a moment to address these concerns, and to discuss the safety of kava blends in general. I know I discuss safety a whole lot on my blog, but as kava becomes more and more popular, I find...

Aloha everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a peaceful transition into winter! Things at the farm have been pretty hectic, but we are all working hard and are still able to relax in the evenings thanks to our wonderful ‘awa (thank goodness!) One of our customers, Steve (another Hawaiian!) sent me a note asking about the levels of oxalates in ‘awa. He has a tendency to develop kidney stones, and has to avoid foods that are high in oxalates. He was wondering if kava contained this substance, and if perhaps it had something to do with kava liver damage cases in which above-ground...

Aloha Everyone! Makaira here! I hope all of you are enjoying the transition into fall. Here at Kona Kava Farm, our busy harvest season is finally slowing down, giving me some time to relax and update my blog! We’ve been receiving many questions from customers about the worldwide legal status of kava recently, so I’ve taken the time to update my article on the topic. Please head on over and take a look. Please note that we’ve been having a tricky time getting our kava to Australia and Italy. If you live in one of these countries, we will ship to you, but be aware that you...
Read MoreHow Do I Use Whole Kava Root and Kava Root Chips?
Aloha everyone! We’ve been getting a lot of questions from our customers recently concerning some of our more unusual products – our whole kava root and kava root chips. These products aren’t as popular as our ground Mahakea kava root, and for good reason – they are a great deal more difficult to work with and require quite a lot of effort to prepare. However, they do bring significant benefits along with all that extra work. As I’m sure most of you know, here in Hawaii and in other parts of the Pacific, it is traditional to drink ‘awa that is prepared...
