Kelai Kava
Let's set the stage for one of nature's best-kept secrets: Vanuatu’s Epi Island and its crown jewel, the Kelai Kava.
A splendid specimen in the world of kava, the Kelai cultivar is a unique blend of mystery, tradition, and power wrapped in the form of a humble plant.
Epi Island is not just an island; it's a small universe of its own, set amid the turquoise waters of the South Pacific, punctuated by majestic volcanoes, pristine coral reefs, and unspoiled beaches. Amidst this paradise lives Kelai Kava, not merely a plant but a sublime lifestyle of 5,000 fortunate islanders.
Now imagine the potency of Kelai, which proudly stands among Vanuatu's most cherished cultivars of Kava. It's a joy to the senses, delivering an almost instantaneous upliftment and euphoria, something which we all strive for in our lives. Thanks to its high kavain content and chemotype of 421653, the experience of Kelai is second to none.
The Growth
The story of Kelai is a tale of time and patience. The plant is tenderly raised from lateral and basal roots, allowed to flourish for a serene period of 4-6 years before it's time to reveal its magic. The harvested roots are peeled, cut, dried, and finally pounded into a powdery treasure that is then mixed with water and strained, resulting in an elixir of life.
The secret of Kelai’s outstanding quality lies in the rich volcanic soil of Epi Island, gifted with essential nutrients, optimal drainage, and aeration. Mix this with the island's year-round warm, humid climate, balanced rainfall, and generous sunshine, and you've got the perfect recipe for the finest Kelai kava.
The joy of Kelai Kava remains primarily within the heart of Epi island, savored by its residents. However, working tirelessly with the local Department of Agriculture and dedicated farmers, we aim to share this rare gem with the world. Yes, the yield might be low, and yes, it might cost us a bit more, but my friends, the experiences it offers are beyond any price tag! We always strive to bring you the most affordable kava possible while never sacrificing quality.
The People
Now, let's talk about the heart of Epi Island – its people. These hardworking subsistence farmers and fishermen, speak a multitude of languages and dialects, each adding a unique color to the vibrant mosaic of Epi's culture. Our mission is not just about sharing Kelai Kava with the world; it's about uplifting the economy of this beautiful place, ensuring that the planting of new Kava plants also plants the seeds of prosperity for the Epi people.
Remember, each time you enjoy the Kelai Kava, you're not only partaking in a unique sensory experience but also contributing to a cycle of positive change that goes beyond our individual lives. So, let's celebrate the Kelai Kava, the people of Epi Island, and the beautiful diversity of life that makes our world so incredibly special!
