Instant Kava – Kava Made Easy

Buy Instant Kava Powder and take away the traditional preparation process!

Why Real Instant Kava Matters!

With our Instant Kava, you’ll experience the highest quality made through an aqueous extract process—not yucky alcohol or chemical extraction. Therefore, it’s soluble in water with only the effort of stirring like a coffee required! For those seeking Easy to drink Kava, look no further.

Unlike other supposed instant kava products, our Instant Kava Powder is crafted from the green kava juice of Borogu and Palarusal kava plants from Santo Island. Every day, farmers bring fresh kava from the islands. Then, it is cleaned and juiced under strict HACCP conditions. Subsequently, the juice is dried out in evaporators to form a powder. It’s milled into a soluble powder that’s Ready to drink Kava! All our Kava is tested to confirm that only noble kava is used in its production.

Additionally, thorough microbial testing ensures that the kava is free of contaminants. For the most recent certification reports, click HERE. Our product is not simply heavily micronized powder like other vendors sell. Heavily micronized powder sold as instant simply means you are digesting all the fibers from a dried kava root. Comparatively, our product won’t upset your stomach like these inferior products. Moreover, it won’t make you feel bloated. After all, who likes to eat dried kava powder? Nobody! With us, you can Buy Instant Kava online easily.  Experience the joy of Instant Kava Online!

Get Creative!

Instant kava works fantastic with a range of your favourite beverages!

Why our Instant beats Fiji Instant Kava from Coles

When comparing Vanuatu Instant Kava from Australia Kava Shop to Fiji Instant Kava from Coles, several differences arise. First, Vanuatu Instant Kava is sourced from noble kava varieties grown in Vanuatu’s pristine environments. This sourcing ensures the highest quality and consistent effectiveness.

Additionally, Vanuatu kava undergoes rigorous testing for contaminants. It strictly complies with HACCP conditions. As a result, consumers can trust that they are consuming a pure kava product. Our Instant Kava is made by the world leaders in kava quality assurance.

Moreover, the processing techniques set our product apart. Unlike the Coles product, which often uses micronized kava root powder, Vanuatu Instant Kava employs an aqueous extraction process. This method preserves beneficial compounds while removing fibrous material. Therefore, it offers a smoother drinking experience.

Australia Kava Shop also emphasizes sustainability and ethical sourcing. They support local farmers and minimize environmental impacts. This contrasts with Coles’ mass-market approach, which may not prioritize these aspects.

Providing detailed lab reports and transparent information, Australia Kava Shop builds trust with their customers. Consequently, Vanuatu Instant Kava from Australia Kava Shop emerges as the superior choice for discerning kava consumers.

Unveiling the Pioneering History of Aqueous Extraction from Vanuatu

Have you ever wondered how that calming cup of instant kava came to be? Well, let’s journey back to the early 2000s in the vibrant land of Vanuatu, where a revolutionary named James Armitage embarked on a quest that would transform the kava world forever.

In this insightful clip from the YouTube video, you can witness Armitage’s tale unfold in all its glory. Armitage, accompanied by his colleague Cameron McLeod, witnessed the collapse of Vanuatu’s kava export industry due to the ban of kava pills by the European Union. The ban was sparked by side effects from previous extraction methods, which included using not only the kava root but also the stems of the plant.

Determined to find a solution, Armitage became the brilliant mind behind the game-changing process known as Aqueous Extraction. With this technique, he developed a water-based kava extract that preserved the potency and magic of kava while eliminating the bitter taste associated with traditional preparations. Gone were the days of struggling with muddy concoctions and unpalatable flavors. Armitage had found the Holy Grail!

But the quest didn’t stop there. Armitage and his team continued to push boundaries, resulting in the development of kava resin. This concentrated extract became the key ingredient in the innovative Kava Cola. Imagine sipping on a fizzy beverage that not only quenches your thirst but also delivers the relaxing effects of kava. The possibilities were endless.

Fast forward to today, and we find ourselves on Santo island, home to Forney Enterprises. With their unwavering dedication to quality and excellence, Forney Enterprises has become the largest and sole producer of true Aqueous Extraction Instant Kava in the world. Their commitment to preserving Vanuatu’s kava heritage and crafting batches of this liquid gold is commendable.

When you sip on a shell of Aqueous Extraction Instant Kava, you’re not just indulging in a delicious and convenient beverage – you’re experiencing the culmination of years of innovation, perseverance, and passion. It’s a testament to the ingenuity of James Armitage and the unwavering spirit of Forney Enterprises.

So, the next time you take a moment to relax and unwind with a cup of kava, raise it in a toast to the pioneers of Aqueous Extraction Instant Kava. May their legacy continue to thrive, bringing the joys and benefits of kava to enthusiasts far and wide. Cheers to the history makers!

Instant Natural Super Combo

My favourite combo! After a long hard slog on the tools the instant is welcome relief when I get home. Keeps me going while the natural is soaking for later in the evening. Much better for my relationship, u0026 body, than alcohol. Also nice to take the edge off before going shopping with the wife 😉rn

Evening relaxation without the guilt

I’ve been trying to cut back on my mid week drinking and a cup of chai tea wasn’t really cutting it as a replacement! I have a serving of this kava and I get that instant calm washing over me. That with a glass of kombucha at dinner and I’m happy. It’s not cheap but you don’t need much. Great product!rn

Amazing alcohol alternative

I was in desperate need of something to replace alcohol in my evenings at home. I tried the 'kneed yourself' kava, and while it worked, it was a lot of mess for one person. The instant kava, with some sugar-free syrup and soda water has changed my life. I'm using 5g per serve, and it does a great job of a mild sedative in the evening – more or less why I was drinking but without the slurring, hangovers or calories. HIGHLY recommend. I did get used to the taste, but never really liked it. A little syrup covers it up just as well as orange or pineapple jiuce.rn

Smooth, Effective, and Great for Relaxation

I was pleasantly surprised by the Instant Kava Powder from Australia Kava Shop. The mixability is fantastic—no need for extensive straining or kneading like traditional kava. It dissolves well, making it incredibly convenient for a quick, relaxing drink. The effects are smooth and calming, delivering that classic kava relaxation without being too overpowering. I found that 10-15g works best for me, and it pairs well with coconut milk or fruit-based drinks to mellow out the bitterness. The tongue numbing effect kicks in quickly, followed by a gentle, relaxing wave. This is a great option for beginners and seasoned kava drinkers alike—easy to prepare, effective, and well worth it. Will definitely be purchasing again!rn
