Our Story

Kava Done Right

We started The Kava Shop with one belief — that kava deserves the same care and transparency as the world’s finest specialty products. One origin. One standard. No shortcuts.

Who We Are

The Kava Shop

“We don’t carry a catalogue. We carry one kava — because we believe one exceptional thing is worth more than a hundred average ones.”

The Kava Shop is a New Zealand-based supplier of premium noble kava, operating under Himex Trading Ltd. We exist to make world-class kava accessible to every New Zealander — whether you’re discovering it for the first time or you’ve been drinking shells for years.

We made a deliberate choice to source from a single origin. Not because we couldn’t find more, but because we don’t want to compromise. When you know exactly where your kava comes from — the island, the soil, the farmers — you can stand behind it completely. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

What We Stand For

Our Principles

🌿

Noble Kava Only

Not all kava is equal. Noble varieties are cultivated for quality, balance, and clean effects. We never carry tudei (two-day) kava — only varieties grown to the highest traditional standards.

📍

Single Origin

Every batch of Colocolo Gold comes from Kadavu, Fiji — one of the Pacific’s most respected kava-growing islands, known for its deep volcanic soil and generations of traditional farming knowledge.

🤝

Transparency First

You should know exactly what you’re drinking and where it came from. We’re committed to being open about our sourcing, our quality checks, and what goes into every bag of kava we ship.
