Melo Melo Kava Powder

Originating from Pentecost Island, Melo Melo is recognized as one of the premium noble kava varieties from Vanuatu. Known for its smooth, milder approach to the kava experience, Melo Melo offers a subtle flavor and calming effect that make it highly sought after. Unlike some stronger-tasting kava types, its gentle profile appeals to those who enjoy a more mellow experience. Even seasoned kava drinkers appreciate its euphoric and sociable buzz.

Melo Melo is an ideal choice for those interested in experimenting with kava blends or creating kava cocktails. Its less intense, mildly peppery taste makes it perfect for mixing, allowing for a more enjoyable session without overpowering flavors. It’s an excellent addition for anyone looking to enjoy multiple servings in an afternoon or evening.

While Melo Melo plants are physically smaller than most noble kava varieties, their yield remains comparable. Historically, this made Melo Melo harder to source, as many farmers opted for varieties like Borogu that provided a better return on investment. However, over the past decade, demand for Melo Melo has surged, particularly in the U.S. market. Today, kava growers on Pentecost Island dedicate half their crops to Melo Melo, ensuring a plentiful supply of this premium noble variety for kava enthusiasts.
