Yaqona, more commonly referred to as kava, is Fiji\'s traditional ceremonial drink. It is made from the pounded roots of a local pepper plant mixed with water and is consumed from a communal coconut shell in a ceremony visitors are invited to participate in. The kava is prepared in the tanoa bowl. Then, as your Fijian hots rhythmically chant and claps, each person in the circle is invited to sip from the coconut cup full of kava. Kava has a mild sedative effect ... (Fijians call it relaxation), and your lips and tongue will feel slightly numb.
Fiji kava bowls are used in the traditional Fiji Tribal ceremonies. All items are authentic.
Item comes from a smoke-free home. No international buyers please.
