Kava Straining Bags

Why Use a Kava Straining Bag?

Let’s start with the basics. Kavalactones, the active compounds in kava, are not water-soluble—similar to oil. Unlike instant kava, traditional kava powder doesn’t dissolve by simply adding water. To extract the kavalactones, you need to agitate the kava powder in water, which is why a kava straining bag is essential for anyone preparing traditional kava!

While some people use items like stockings, cheesecloth, or even old t-shirts to filter their kava, a high-micron kava strainer can significantly improve the extraction of kavalactones, enhancing the quality of your kava drink.

Our Kava Straining Bags are designed to be durable and long-lasting, made from FDA-approved, BPA-free nylon. We offer them in a large size, accommodating anywhere from 30 grams to 500 grams of kava, making it easy to prepare the amount you need.

We highly recommend investing in one of our Kava Straining Bags, whether you’re using Vanuatu or Fiji kava. Not only will it improve your kava preparation, but it also means you won’t have to repurpose your wife’s pantyhose or use old t-shirts better saved for your next painting project!
