Madang Province · Papua New Guinea

Noble Organic Kava From Papua New Guinea

Sourced from the rich volcanic soils of Madang, our farmed Kava (Piper Methysticum) roots are harvested with care, sun-dried naturally, thoroughly washed, and packed in export bags which are gently stacked inside sea freight containers thus meeting international export quality standards.

The grades

Both varieties come from the same farms and the same soils, separated at the point of harvest.

We supply noble kava only, in two grades

Waka

Lateral roots only — the premium grade. Cleaner in appearance and typically specified by pharmaceutical buyers and extract manufacturers.

Lewena

Lateral roots and the lower stump. Fuller bodied, and traditionally the preferred grade for beverage preparation and bulk processing.

Volcanic soil, unhurried drying, careful packing


Madang's volcanic soils and consistent rainfall produce kava with the root density buyers look for. Nothing is rushed: roots are sun-dried naturally rather than kiln-forced, which protects colour and aroma through the long sea voyage to market.

Every consignment is washed, graded and packed to the standards our destination markets require, then stacked into sea freight containers for export.
