3,000 Years of Tradition. A brief history of Kava in Vanuatu and the world.
Kava is a ceremonial drink made from the root of the kava plant (Piper methysticum), a small shrub with heart shaped leaves that is a distant relative of the pepper tree family. The original settlers of Vanuatu, known as the Lapita people, are thought to have domesticated the kava plant about 3,000 years ago for medicinal and cultural purposes.
Vanuatu is the ancestral home of kava, which explains why Vanuatu kava is the most potent in the world and why more varieties exist in Vanuatu than anywhere else in the Pacific.
