About
The Tupou Kava Company are producers of 100% organic Tongan Noble Kava grown on our family plantation in Vava’u island, using the traditional methods of our ancestors.
Who we are
The Tupou Kava Company's co-founders are siblings BA Hill and Katalina Barton, and the business is named in honour of their Tongan grandparent's whose surname is Tupou.
Our business produces 100% organic Tongan Noble Kava grown on our family plantation in Vava’u island, using the traditional methods of our ancestors.
Tupou Kava's purpose is to provide premium kava products to the Australian market in a way that honours the rich traditions and cultures of Tonga and the South Pacific.
Rooted in sustainability, quality, and community engagement, Tupou Kava's values guide every aspect of our business:
- Authenticity: We are dedicated to preserving the authenticity of kava by using the methods of our ancestors to grow heirloom Noble kava root. Our commitment to authenticity ensures that every product we offer delivers a genuine kava experience that is true to its cultural roots.
- Quality: We uphold the highest standards of quality throughout the production, selection and distribution processes. By carefully selecting the best kava from our harvest, we guarantee a consistently exceptional product for kava enthusiasts.
- Sustainability: We recognise our responsibility to protect the delicate environment where our kava is grown. Through sustainable farming practices handed down from our ancestors we minimise the environmental footprint we create on the land.
- Social Responsibility: We are committed to making a meaningful impact beyond profit margins. A portion of our profits is reinvested into initiatives that support education, healthcare, and environmental conservation in the Tongan Islands, demonstrating our dedication to social responsibility and long-term sustainability.
