Kava for…Pets?
Aloha everyone! Makaira here. The rainy season is beginning in Hawaii, which means that I’ve been spending less time outside working with my beautiful ‘awa plants, and more time researching, reading, and looking for mentions of kava in the news. Just the other day, I happened to stumble across a completely bizarre article regarding kava and pets. I’ve honestly never even considered this to be an issue, so I thought I would share it with all of you in case anyone was wondering whether kava was good to give to pets. This article in the Telegraph UK is entitled If your pet is...

Aloha everyone! Fall is on its way, and even here in Hawaii we are starting to feel just a little bit of a refreshing crispness in the air. The intense amount of harvesting work that has to be done in the summer here at Kona Kava Farm is starting to calm down, and I’m looking forward to having a little bit more time to research and write and, of course, to curl up and read a good book with a hot (!) cup of kava cocoa!

Read MoreDo Kava and Alcohol Combine?
For some reason, as kava drinking gets more popular in the United States, we find that we get asked the question about whether kava and alcohol mix more and more often! I’m not sure why, but we’ve now been asked enough that I decided to devote a post to discuss whether it might be dangerous as well as what the effects of mixing the two might be. First, I want to stress that we would never advocate mixing two drinks that have very noticeable effects on the body and mind. It’s not unlike asking if it’s a good idea to mix prescription medication with alcohol. I...
Read MoreDavid: “A Blog-Worthy Scam”
We sometimes get customers who don’t find that Kava Kava is for them, they find the taste too unpleasant for their palettes, or they simply don’t feel any effects from it. What’s rare is the customer who believes that Kava is a scam. This type of dissatisfaction is truly rare, but I thought that my response to David may offer some insight for any customers who feel the same as David does. Kava has always been an integral part of my family and my culture for generations, but I can understand that Kava is not for everyone. David, In the spirit of possibly offering something...
