Kava kava grows in the Pacific Islands with finite boundaries. Climate pressures and an increasing global demand have steadily increased the cost. While we try to keep our prices as low as possible, we have had to recently raise our kava kava pricing. We will continue to watch the market closely and adjust our prices accordingly.
Qualities: Cool, grounding
