HineHina Tongan Kava - Powder
Fresh batch released 11/11/2011! Up to 1kg increments now available!
Our HineHina Tongan Kava powder is much lighter in color than other Kava varieties. It has the mildest Kava taste out of our kava lineup, making it very pleasant and relaxing to drink. It has a slightly earthy, yet very sweet aroma with a smooth taste. Suprisingly, it is still quite potent!
This variety comes from the island of 'Eau in the Kingdom of Tonga. The long history of Kava use and culture there creates harvesters who really know this product. They achieve excellence in everything from selection, packaging, storing, and shipping. Even though this small island is very remote, making shipping more difficult, this product always arrives in a very fresh state. Its smooth taste makes it great for a relaxing evening with friends and its a great product to try for anyone new to Kava. We've received amazing feedback with this variety! If you love it, be sure to check out our new sub-variety: Fu'u Tongan Kava!
All of our Kava root powders have a kavalactone content between 12.5 and 18%! The average lateral root to stump ratio is approximately 70% to 30% (7:3).
