# Powdered kava in Vila Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
bananaoctopus 23:24 UTC 17 Jan 2009 | Hey guys, does anyone if/where you can buy powdered kava in Vila? Apparently the more traditional methods of consumption are a little unhygienic. Ta. |

mandja 11:25 UTC 18 Jan 2009 | Any of the large hotels will also have it in their gift shops (albeit dearer than at the market). | 2
greggig 20:55 UTC 19 Jan 2009 | I think I saw powdered kava in an airport shop. Or maybe it was in Vila. One thing for sure, Vanuatu has the real thing. | 3
bananaoctopus 20:55 UTC 21 Jan 2009 | Thanks guys, it sounds like it's pretty easy to find anyway. | 4
greggig 21:09 UTC 22 Jan 2009 | It's all over the place actually. But don't forget to taste the real thing in a Kava bar. It's quite an experience. | 5
