Kava -- Premium Tongan Fu'u, Milk of the Pacific (1/2 lb)
Deep in the woods of 'Eua, Tonga, you will find our prolific family garden. For centuries, islanders have retreated to its depths to rendezvous with a loyal friend -- Fu'u, a sacred kava. A silky elixir with a creamy white hue, the natives characterize it as the "Milk of the Pacific," and serve it during weddings and funerals. This kava tickles the lips, pacifies the mind, and warms the soul. Bask luxury and grandeur. Let the island breeze whisper gently into your ear, as you slow down and let go.Our kava promotes a balance of stress relief, focus, muscle relaxation, calmness, and gentle euphoria. It comes on clean and gradual, yet powerfully -- you will never be "hungover" from it. You will not find a kava of higher quality in the world.If you were to compare our kava to a wine or spirit, it would be an aged, fine wine -- almost like a Dom Perignon. There are many "Jack Daniels" types out there (some of them extracts, some of them "waka"), and, while it may take less to feel their effects, ours comes on warmer, overtake the body more, promote more restful sleep, and a more sunny and uplifting mood.The natives traditionally grind Fu'u as fine as possible, and we do the same. There are two main reasons:-- Traditional drinks are meant to be served with "pulp" in them --  a little bit of grit can be swooshed in the mouth and tickles the tongue and throat on the way down -- it's like pulp in orange juice. This cut allows for the finest "pulp" to slip past the strainer and into the drink. Yum!-- If you're without s strainer or pressed for time, you're in luck. By happenstance, with this cut, you can mix the kava directly in water, and gulp back without straining. This is great if you're on the move.Our kava is always fresh. We regularly import it from our farm in Tonga. You are drinking what royalty drinks.
