Premium Noble Kava from Vanuatu
Elevated Botanicals Kava — supplied in Aotearoa since 2004
Kava has been at the heart of MindFuel since the beginning. Since 2004, we have sourced and supplied kava in Aotearoa, developing long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers in Vanuatu and building our range around one simple principle: quality comes first.
Our Elevated Botanicals Kava range focuses on 100% Noble Vanuatu Kava, sourced from Santo and other established kava-growing regions of Vanuatu. We offer individual cultivars, traditional-style blends and specialty root selections, giving experienced kava drinkers the opportunity to explore the remarkable diversity of Vanuatu kava.
Why choose our kava?
100% Noble Kava
Our range is based on Noble Kava varieties selected for their traditional use and suitability for regular kava preparation.
Vanuatu grown
Vanuatu has a long and important history of kava cultivation and preparation. We source our kava from established Vanuatu suppliers with whom we have built relationships over many years.
Cultivar specific
Kava is not one uniform product. Different cultivars and root types can have very different characteristics. We therefore identify our cultivars individually rather than selling everything simply as "kava."
No fillers
Our kava is supplied as pure kava root material, with no unnecessary fillers or added ingredients.
Over 20 years of experience
We have been supplying kava in New Zealand since 2004. Kava is not a recent addition to our range — it has been part of MindFuel from the beginning.
Explore our Vanuatu Kava
From approachable everyday varieties to distinctive high-grade cultivars, our range is designed for people who want to explore kava beyond the generic bulk product.
Melomelo
A popular Vanuatu cultivar with a smooth, approachable character.
Borogu
One of the best-known Vanuatu kavas, with a strong following among experienced kava drinkers.
Palasa
A distinctive premium cultivar selected for its character and strength.
Bir Kar
A higher-grade Vanuatu cultivar for experienced kava drinkers looking for something more distinctive.

One of the most premium cultivars in our range, selected for experienced kava enthusiasts.
Traditional and specialty selections
Our range also includes Kaoule, Tribal, Meren and Namele, along with specialty selections of 100% Basal Root and 100% Lateral Root.
Basal and lateral root are different parts of the kava plant and provide another way for experienced drinkers to explore the character of Vanuatu kava.
Kava from Vanuatu, supplied with respect
Kava is much more than a botanical commodity. It is deeply connected with the history, culture and social life of the Pacific.
We recognise the importance of sourcing and presenting kava respectfully. Our aim is to provide high-quality Vanuatu kava while giving customers useful information about its origins, cultivars and traditional context.
After more than two decades of supplying kava, we remain committed to the same thing that started the range: finding exceptional kava and making it available to kava drinkers in Aotearoa.

Our range includes smaller 50g and 100g packs, making it easier to explore different cultivars before committing to a larger quantity.
