The Origins of Kava

Fiji's Hidden Gem

Kava has captivated Pacific Island cultures for centuries.

Being considered a natural way to unwind, socialise, and find inner peace, Kava ceremonies foster a sense of unity, mutual respect, and open communication.

Deeply woven into the fabric of Fijian culture, these rituals are essential for commemorating significant life events such as weddings, births, funerals, and even business gatherings.

Kava in Fiji

Kava, Fiji’s national drink, is commonly enjoyed by groups of individuals who gather around the Tanoa, a large wooden communal bowl, sharing stories as they pass around the bilo, a cup made from a half coconut shell.

The Traditional Kava Experience

The beverage is prepared by the powdered roots mixed with water, and served in a Tanoa.

The tanoa is a beautifully carved wooden bowl used for mixing and serving kava. In Fiji, people believe it originated in Lau, the southernmost group of islands. Within Lau, the islands of Ogea, Kabara, and Fulaga are especially known for their skilled tanoa craftsmanship.

The Tanoa is often decorated with carvings or paintings that depict aspects of Fijian mythology or history.
