Coconut Kava Shell

I find the coconut shells at Australia Kava Shop are great quality. Makes for a particularly smooth kava experience. Kava definitely tastes better for me drinking with the coconut shell. If getting kava I’d grab one of these too!

Being able to finally break free from anxiety

Having bought kava from Australia Kava Shop, I feel so much better with this Instant Kava, so much easier to drink and digest. I feel it boosts my ability to do things, think more clearly, and reduces my fear overall of things. I can think more in the present moment, and plan for the day. My hand writing has improved, and I am able to speak better, sleep better, and just be more still and have a quieter mind. Thank you Cam and the team at the shop. I really appreciate the speedy delivery and the service. Worth the cost, and you don't need to use much to get good effects from the Instant Kava. Blessings, Thomas.

Evening relaxation without the guilt

I’ve been trying to cut back on my mid week drinking and a cup of chai tea wasn’t really cutting it as a replacement! I have a serving of this kava and I get that instant calm washing over me. That with a glass of kombucha at dinner and I’m happy. It’s not cheap but you don’t need much. Great product!

Good quality strainer bag

Good quality strainer bag, I got about about 6 months of use from my last bag until it ripped when squeezing a brew, and that was using it 4-5 times a week. I've tried other bags from elsewhere and they don't last as long. Would recommend.

I wasn't sure what to expect

I've been a fan of Fiji Kava from Coles and it's been great so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find Australia Instant Kava is very good. I definitely recommend it.

Absolutely love the straining bag lovely size and does an amazing job. Can't recommend Australian Kava for all your kava needs Bula!

Real instant kava

Super convenient and helps unwind after a stressful day, puts me in a nice calm and chilled mood. I find it handy to have some instant kava around for those moments when I dont have time to mix up a traditional brew, or to have while I'm making up a batch 🙂 Its "real" instant and not just micronized like other brands, I like to mix mine up in a shaker with some chocolate milk. Would recommend for first time users as the taste is less intense than a traditional brew which can put some off trying kava.

Much better than micronised

Dissolved well - I need a lot to feel it still but I'm drinking less alcohol so there's a plus.
Dog approved.

Very chill

First time trying it, found it very relaxing!

Stoked you liked it CK!

Best Instant Kava

I have been experimenting with Kava. (I prefer to use instant). I have found it great to wind down on a Friday after work, and to relax and sleep better on weekends. If I do have an alcoholic beverage (which usually disturbs my sleep) having a Kava afterwards helps restore my sleep. This one has been the best so far and definitely mixes the best.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Fiona! We're glad that our instant Kava has been the best for your relaxation and sleep.

Found harmony to be a little more mild, prefer the stronger kava

Hi George - Thanks for your review.
Yes Fiji Harmony is definitely milder as it is made of 50% lewena and 50% lateral (waka) roots, so not as strong as Waka Premium, which should be back in stock soon.

Great product

I decided to go the natural kava, A little extra work involved in the preparation but well worth it. I found the natural had more of a punch to it but without the heavy stomach feeling that the instant powder had that I have tried from coles in the past. It works out that I mix a brew up every second day, Happy days.

Thank you, Rick! Great to hear that you found our Vanuatu natural Kava to be worth the extra effort!
Good thing about traditional powder is, you can do up a big batch enough for 3 days, and store it in a sealed, tight container in the fridge.

Thanks

Fast and convenient, perfect

K9 Review

Used k9 over 3 days to evaluate. Used 1 tsp on 42kg German Shepherd. Worked well. Usually he spends his morning barking at the neighbours as they leave but on k9 he just chilled by the door for a couple of hours.seems to work better on empty stomach. Thanks. BW . Worongary Qld

The best addition to our pets lifestyle

Here’s our two wonderful pups.

The black girl (Leia) is a Kelpie cross Staffy, high energy and a big overthinker. She’s anxious out in the world and her confident look hides the fact that she genuinely thinks everything is out to get her.

The curly haired lout is Mojo, he’s a super confident Cobberdog with a very curious and active mind.

Both always up for mischief. Mojo loves to investigate everything, and I mean everything. He has a knack for tasting everything that moves, and we’re still training him about Cane Toads.

We are an active family and often out until 8 or 9pm attending sports for our son, and that leaves us concerned about leaving the dogs outside unsupervised.

So, we have tried a few times now with the K9 Kalm by adding a teaspoon of peanut butter to their dinner. The dogs love peanut butter at the best of times, so it’s seen as a treat.

Then they come inside as the sun goes down and they can relax indoors in safety.

We weren’t sure what to expect, but wanted to give it a go, and we’re absolutely thrilled. The sleeping photos were taken around 9pm, they greeted us enthusiastically at the door to say hello, have some cuddles, show us that they didn’t destroy anything, and didn’t even annoy the cats.

I did notice with our two that we needed a bit more than a flat teaspoon, went a little more generous and gave a heaped teaspoon and it’s the perfect dose.

The great part is it’s not a sedative, they’re just chillin’ out. They’ll get up for a play, albeit not an enthusiastic one, and then just relax on the couch, floor or wherever they choose.

I just wish it was in larger containers, it has proven to be a wonderful addition to our household and really helps our two relax when left unsupervised of an evening whether indoors or outdoors.

Thanks to the team at Australia Kava Shop for thinking outside the box. You’ve had a huge impact on this family. Thank you!!

Smooth, Effective, and Great for Relaxation

I was pleasantly surprised by the Instant Kava Powder from Australia Kava Shop. The mixability is fantastic—no need for extensive straining or kneading like traditional kava. It dissolves well, making it incredibly convenient for a quick, relaxing drink.

The effects are smooth and calming, delivering that classic kava relaxation without being too overpowering. I found that 10-15g works best for me, and it pairs well with coconut milk or fruit-based drinks to mellow out the bitterness. The tongue numbing effect kicks in quickly, followed by a gentle, relaxing wave.

This is a great option for beginners and seasoned kava drinkers alike—easy to prepare, effective, and well worth it. Will definitely be purchasing again!

Thank you so much Wayne for sharing your experience with Instant Kava, glad you're enjoying it.

Happy doggo, Happy owner, Happy neighbours

My 6 year old anxious Jack Russel is finally a happy, chill relaxed dog. K9 takes the afternoon stress of other dogs and people walking past out home. As her owner my anxiety has also reduced
knowing Alice is living her best life hanging outside with the kids and not worrying about what's going on over the fence. My neighbours are also happy and have noticed the difference since we started using K9. I would 100% recommend kalm K9 to anyone who has an anxious easily overstimulated Dog. Beyond happy with this product.
