What are “Noble” varieties of Kava?

Kava has been traditionally cultivated and consumed across the South Pacific for centuries. The highest quality kava varieties are known as “Noble” kava, which are traditional cultivars recognized for their balanced effects and safe long-term use.

Examples of noble varieties include Borogu, Boroguru, Mahakea, and Fu’u.

These strains are preferred because they provide clean, relaxing effects and a predictable kavalactone profile.

At Kingdom of Kava Australia, we only source 100% Noble kava from Vanuatu, the world’s most respected origin for traditional kava.

What makes Vanuatu Kava special?

Vanuatu is widely regarded as producing the highest quality kava in the world.

The country grows 30–70 traditional noble cultivars, known for their balanced kavalactone profiles and smooth effects. These varieties are carefully cultivated and traditionally consumed throughout the islands.

Because of its quality standards, Vanuatu only exports noble kava varieties, ensuring a consistently high-quality product.

How should beginners try kava?

If you're new to kava, start slowly.

We recommend:

  1. Start with one bowl or small serving

  2. Wait 20–30 minutes to feel the effects

  3. If desired, have a second serving

Some people experience reverse tolerance, meaning the relaxing effects become more noticeable after several sessions.

Is kava harmful to the liver?

When consumed responsibly and prepared from root-only noble kava, it has a long history of traditional use in the South Pacific.

However:

• Avoid mixing kava with alcohol
• Avoid combining with sedatives or medications affecting the liver or nervous system
• If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult your doctor before use

At Kingdom of Kava Australia, we only source high-quality root-only noble kava from trusted suppliers.
