I am a recovering alcoholic (23 years) and occasionally get low-level anxiety. This is great at relieving it and isn’t addicting. It makes me very mellow and relaxed. I mix it with cranberry juice.

I’ve hunted around for kava online for a couple years and this has been the most dependable site I’ve been able to find. Always quite potent and very consistent. This is the site I refer all friends due to its most dependable service and quality.

I have been dealing with Gary and Lynn since 1996, and have always received fast service and top quality products. I would not shop for my Kava from anyone else, and I “highly” recommend the Vanuatu Kava to anyone wanting the authentic Kava experience. It is always freshly ground before shipping which makes it very potent and pleasurable.Vanuatu is regarded as the birthplace of Kava, with the majority chemotypes occurring there. Buy with confidence!

I have tried kava from various other sites with varying results but Kava Kauai’s kava is by far the most potent I’ve found. It makes you feel very happy and content. The price is very reasonable too. It’s worth every penny. If you are going to try kava, Kava Kauai is the place to get it.

We’ve tried this Kava Powder yesterday and it was, for sure, an amazing experience. The sense of relaxation and refined happiness have astonished us! We’ll certainly continue buying this wonderful Kava from our friends Gary and Lynn. Thank you very much!

I love kava. It has become part of my diet. The mouth numbing effect has an appetite suppressant effect because I don’t taste the food as much after I drink kava which makes me want to eat less. Drink it almost daily.

Adam Swan –

I just tried your product today and I am very happy with the results. I have tried Kava from another supplier but your Kava blends better and has a more relaxing effect. Thanks for the wonderful product.

I have been buying from Gary for years, I tried other suppliers but Kava Kaui is the best, always high quality, Gary stands behind his product. I really like Vanuatu kava, very calming, nice tingle, reasonably priced, nothing better than enjoying a cup mixed with a bit of ginger, my preferred drink while listening to music!

I have tried a couple other companies and although I have enjoyed all the Kava products this is by far my favorite. Also it was shipped quickly. I will definitely order from realkava.com again.

I enjoy Kava very much and usually drink it seeped in coconut water a few times a week around 4PM. I much prefer Kava to alcohol as it gives me a relaxing yet active sense of awareness. In addition, I suffered from anxiety before but now combined with prayer and meditation, Kava has relieved my stresses. I find it very useful in daily meditations, and generally if I have had a stressful day. It helps me to reflect on my thoughts in meditation, fully aware, yet unattached. I can see why some countries even prescribe Kava as a medicine and why the native people drink it daily and in ceremonies. I have even used the wet muslin bag on my face and body to help with pain from blemishes or bruises and relieve inflammation. It has a lovely numbing effect; I then use the spent Kava as compost for my garden. Kava is nature’s medicine and deserves respect. Thank you to the lovely and hard working people who grow and harvest this amazing medicinal root. I will keep ordering every few months as long as my budget allows.
Kava Kauai –
Thanks for the nice review. Glad you enjoyed the kava!

This is the first Kava that I actually feel like I think I’m supposed to. I’v Tried many different brands and really always wondered what the big deal was. Finally I now know what people are talking about when they say how relaxed they feel and just a feeling of general wellness. I also use Kava to abstain from alcohol, i’ve been sober now for months and Kava has been a big part of that. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for a great Kava!

I would multiply the stars with an exponent. It’s a pity to say, some of the best and most reliable companies on earth, I/we take for granted — as if, of course everyone must already know, at least from experience as customers, that this is a model business in every respect, making the absolute top quality dried kava (one of the most positive and benign of drug substances) available reasonably, reliably, with total accountability and straightforwardness, and with the most superb customer service….this sounds like gushing, like an idealization, but has been the truth now for decades. So I suppose it needed saying again? So grateful Kava Kauai exists! And those of you who haven’t tried it yet, if you live outside of Vanuatu (the revered kava domestication/origin zone!) and Fiji and Micronesia, where better to begin?

This is a high quality Kava product and this company knows what their doing. The grind on the last package I bought was just perfect. Highly recommended if you are looking for quality Kava.
Richard K –
I am very pleased with this product. I take it every day as it helps in preventing the side effects of the medication that I am required to take for my disability. It also helps me relax when I start to get stressed out or am unable to go to sleep. I have been using this product for over 20 years and I tell my family and friends about it and that they should give it a try if nothing else appears to work. One of my family members uses it consistently and likes how it makes her feel.

I’ve been a customer of Kava Kauai for many years, because they sell the best kava root you can find online. The quality, potency, and freshness are consistently good, so I know I will have the calming experience I have come to expect from drinking it.
Eric –
Been purchasing this Kava Root Powder since our trip on Kaua’i in 2010, online ordering is fast and efficient (and less expensive although MUCH LESS fun than flying to Kaua’i!).
Dominic M –
Fantastic relaxing Kava from a quality ethical company with good prices and reasonable international shipping costs. Very happy.
Did you find this helpful?
Michael U –
Following the directions on the bag, it’s pretty easy to make a cup. The effects are quick and relaxing.
JENNIFER MULLET –
High quality.

I have been a customer of KavaKauai for more than ten years, usually making an order every month or two. In all that time there was only one order mis-filled, and that was rectified immediately. This is a remarkable record of the attention of a business to its customers, which is matched by the high quality of its kava.
Lori Anderson –
i used to order from another site until they started adding mostly filler into the powder and no kava. This is the best kava i have ever tried and has no fillers in it. It lasts quite a long time and is a great value. We will definitely be purchasing again.

I was referred to Kava Kaui by a friend who was already a customer. I love the feeling of peace and my anxiety level dropping within minutes of drinking my kava, leaving me relaxed and happy! Now I’m recommending Kava Kaui to another friend who was looking for something to use for a light relaxed feeling. The blender method is easy to prepare, and I really like the recipe ideas for a little different flavor experience. I enjoy your kava so much!
