Kava

Premium Noble Kava from Vanuatu – Available in Aotearoa

At MindFuel, kava is more than a product; it’s a tradition we respect deeply. For over two decades, we’ve been honoured to share kava with our community, building long-standing relationships with the smallholder farming families in Vanuatu who have grown it for generations.

Our Elevated Botanicals range features only 100% noble kava, sourced directly from Santo Island; one of the most respected kava-growing regions in the Pacific. Each variety is cultivated, harvested, and prepared using traditional methods, then shipped fresh to Aotearoa without fillers or shortcuts.

Why our noble kava stands apart
We work directly with trusted growers, ensuring that every batch is certified noble kava by the Vanuatu Government. This means no tudei varieties, no additives, and no compromise on quality. Our approach prioritises freshness, potency, and the cultural integrity of the kava trade.

Our kava varieties
We offer both single cultivar and traditional blends, each with its own character. From the soothing Bir Kar and mellow Melomelo, to the bold Borogu and uplifting Palasa, there’s a variety for every occasion. Our blends, such as Kaoule, Meren, and Namele, are inspired by nakamal-style preparations and crafted with respect for their origins. Specialty options like 100% basal root or 100% lateral root kava provide different strengths and effects for both newcomers and experienced drinkers.

Kava with respect
We recognise that kava is woven into the cultural, spiritual, and social fabric of the Pacific. We take care to ensure that our sourcing supports the livelihoods of the communities who grow it, and that we represent it in a way that honours its history. When you choose MindFuel, you’re supporting a kava trade rooted in fairness, sustainability, and genuine connection.

Whether you are looking to relax after a long day, share time with friends, or deepen your appreciation of Pacific herbal traditions, our kava range offers an authentic, carefully sourced experience.
