Enhancing the lives of Australians through kava!
With 17 years’ experience in the kava industry, we are as passionate as ever about how kava can improve the lives of Australians….. We Know Our Roots!
With many Australians looking to move away from alcohol, they are looking for safe and legal social tonics. Enter 1000s of years of Vanuatu kava, the ideal social beverage. All the fun but with No Hangover
Anxiety and Insomnia are a true scourge of Australian society. Fiji Kava, renown for its ability to relax the body and turn off the head noise, is the perfect nullifier!
Our lives are fast paced and not everyone has the time to prepare traditional kava. Instant kava, ready in 10seconds or the Alu Ball Kava Shaker ready in 2 minutes both fit perfectly into busy Australians lives!
Our customers love telling us how kava has improved their relationships, increased their sleep quality, lowered their anxiety, and helped them kick alcohol to the kerb.
We can’t wait to help YOU start your kava journey and change your life as well!

Just feels right for kava!
I had been using a glass to drink my kava with and while it does the job it just didn't feel right.
The kava shell helps me get the right and consistent dose each time and feels much more authentic for my kava sessions. Plus its a nice little ornament on the kitchen bench when I'm not using it!
Great kava
Really strong extract of kava which I love, meaning more serves and more potency.
Got a good sleep first use
I bought this because i am having trouble getting a good nights sleep lately and i had heard that Kava will help. First nights use was terrific. I actually got a full 8 hours sleep in. Was so impressed with it that i bought some more so i dont run out.

I'm 70, & was looking for a safe & effective way to relax in the evenings.
Alcohol is not an option.
My son suggested Fiji Harmony.
I now have a couple of relaxing drinks in the evening & very happy with the pleasant relaxation. 🙂

Waka 3 x 1kg and 3 x Straining Bag
So quick and easy!
As I've explored kava as an alternative to alcohol, I've found that the biggest problem is how long it takes to prepare! At first, I prepared it the traditional way, manually kneading the kava in a strainer bag for 10 to 15 minutes. It was effective, but boring. Then, I started putting it in the blender for a few minutes instead. That worked really well, but it was noisy, and then I had a blender to clean up afterward! Not exactly convenient.
The Aluball shaker perhaps doesn't create the absolute strongest brew you could get, but given its sheer convenience, it's now my go-to preparation method. Second washes are a breeze, too, since once you finish drinking the first wash, your kava is still there in the ball ready to go.
THAT'S the convenient evening drink experience I'm looking for! So happy to finally get my hands on one of these shakers.

Aluball Kava Shaker
Great to make a stronger brew when needed!
Great to make stronger brews! One Aluball just wasn't cutting it. Easy to clean and store too. Definitely recommend after a long day!
Always the best!!!!
Never failed to impress, the best customer service and love the hard lollies I get which help with the flavour. If you want a company you can trust and are reliable, then look no further.
Drink Kava not alcohol!
I've been shopping at Australia Kava Shop for a while now (a year or two I think). I used it to get some distance then give up alcohol. Now I just do it for fun. Really is best in moderation like anything of this nature. My pick for the best product is the instant kava. Really such a gentle way to do it.

Great stuff,just need a 1kg bag next time instead of 250gm.Bulla
Melo by name Melo by afternoon.
Melo Melo is another great Kava from AKS.
I made up one of my favourite blends of Coconut Splice mix and it's absolutely great with any Kava and a great way to enjoy that Kava chill factor. Better than any alcoholic cocktail and the Kava lifestyle has kept me off alcohol for nearly 2 years.💪🌱💚🤙
It was certainly a nice melo beverage. I managed to get a second cup out of each 50 gram serve.
Essential
I usually make kava using the liquidiser method and then strain. A kava straining bag is essential. And the Australian kava shop straining bag is a good product which lasts. I've used my last one for months.
Waka …nice heavy
This kava brewed up a darker brown colour and was effective from the moment it numbed my mouth. Good stuff
Thanks guys

ABOUT AUSTRALIA KAVA SHOP
WHO WE ARE
Australia Kava Shop is a family owned business with history in the kava business reaching back to 2007. We source certified noble variety exclusively from our Pacific contacts that we have built over the past 17 years. We want kava in Australia to be a success. To do this we package our products in HACCAP certified conditions. We also certify that all our imports are of noble variety. We strive to make your Australian kava experience the best possible.
WE KNOW OUR ROOTS!
Australia Kava Shop's history in the kava space
Kava Cola
After developing a kava extract that meant we could get the kava reduced down to a 100:1 ratio on normal kava, we decided to show the world how it could be used. In partnership with Vanuatu Beverages, we showed the world what could be done with “Lava Cola”.

Tanna Kava
Tanna Island is known as having the strongest kava in the world. However due to its rugged nature and the strength of culture, Tanna kava was rarely used outside of Vanuatu. In 2008 we worked with custom facilitators to export the strongest kava in the world to the USA and helped put money back into the hands of Tannese kava growers.
Fiji Partners
Walking through the Nadi kava markets can be daunting for first timers. We were lucky to meet Atish Govind and Zurin Ali from QIO Kava on one of our first trips and they helped us traverse the kava landscape in Fiji. We went onto partner with them to send many tonnes of their Fiji waka to the United States and countries in the EU.
The Kava Emporium
Vanuatu has always been a popular tourism destination. However there was no store that focused solely on promoting and selling kava to tourists. In 2008 we decided to change that and opened “The Kava Emporium”. It revolutionised the way kava was retailed both in Vanuatu and throughout the world. Kava Candy, Kava Chocolate, we stocked it all.
United States and EU Kava Market
We built relationships with the booming nakamal industry in the US throughout the 00’s. Vanuatu kava and Fiji kava were supplied by us to many US kava bars. These kava bars included Noble Kava, Sovereign Kava and Square Rut. We also supplied EU companies such as Europe Kava Club.
Community Engagement
We partnered with both Vanuatu Rugby League and the Vanuatu Surfing Association to help them financially with their Rugby League Test matches and International surf contests as well as development programs. We are still involved with the Vanuatu Surfing Association today!

The Kava Kritic – Kava Forums 2014
Our journey from 2007 to Australia Kava Shop Today!
Awarded the “Happiest Country on Earth” by the “Happy Planet Index” multiple times, Vanuatu and Fiji are also known for their kava. These are not mutually exclusive and the fact that most Ni-Vanuatu and Fijians finish their day with a shell of kava could very well have something to do with them being happy!
The team at Australia Kava Shop met in Vanuatu in the 2002. After working in other industries, they decided to build a kava business. That lead us into developing new kava products, opening new markets around the world, starting the world’s first dedicated kava retail store and most importantly, meeting the best people in the kava business. Click HERE to see some of our previous kava endeavors!
We relocated to Australia in 2016 and closed down our kava business after Tropical Cyclone Pam. However, when the Australian government decided to make kava imports legal again, we decided to utilise our old network to make the best kava from the South Pacific available in Australia. Therefore “Australia Kava Shop” was born.
We are dedicated to making the kava experience an option for all Australians and to do it with the best product, the best service, at the best price. We are happy to claim “We Know Our Roots” .
