Here we discuss what makes for the strongest kava and give you a rundown of how to select between kava products and preparation methods to help you get the strongest kava and kava that meets your personal potency needs.

These two varieties are worlds apart and it is recommended you buy and drink Noble Kava ONLY. In Vanuatu, the purported birthplace of kava, islanders only consume pure Noble kava on a regular basis. They have gone so far as to ban the export of Tudei kava varieties due to the unpleasant side effects that are associated with them, namely nausea and lethargy. For general information on what kava is read this.
