Natural Nobel Kava
Kava root powder is from the kava plant, Piper methysticum, in the Piperaceae family. The word kava has a Tongan and Marquesan definition, which means 'bitter'.

The root of the kava plant contains active lactones that have a warm and peppery scent with many outstanding properties.
