About Kava and Its Cultural Significance

Kava, known locally as "kava kava," is a traditional beverage made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant. It has been consumed for over 3,000 years in the South Pacific for its relaxing and calming effects. Kava plays a central role in Tongan ceremonies, social gatherings, and daily life, symbolising unity, respect, and community.
