Powdered kava in Vila

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

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.

I would look in the local market . There are bound to be kava stalls.

Any of the large hotels will also have it in their gift shops (albeit dearer than at the market).

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.

Thanks guys, it sounds like it's pretty easy to find anyway.

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.
