Kava Roots Are Serious Business
We take bringing you the best Kava we can grow and/or source as seriously as we have taken Kava as a business in our family for many generations.

Read MoreIs Your Kava GMP Kava?
We’ve always felt that assurance of quality was of the utmost for our treasured and loyal customers. As part of that commitment to quality, Kona Kava Farm became a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compliant company from the farm to your table several years ago as the new, far stricter rules came into being for small businesses in 2011.

As any long-time reader of this blog knows, I am constantly on the lookout for any news stories about kava kava. I have been blessed to learn so much about kava kava’s traditional uses outside of my home islands, the developing research on her health benefits, and her emergence at long last as an accepted herbal medicine among many Western health practitioners. Yet in all the years I’ve been reading and writing about kava, I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a story as surprising as the curious case of fake kava which I’m about to relate to you all below. 1996 was an exciting year in many...
