When you buy kava online right here from Nakamal At Home you will receive one 500g bag of Epik Kava Birkar root powder by purchasing this product complete with a batch number. This is a single Chemotype product. This Chemotype is called Birkar kava. Birkar kava is a noble drinking kava that is heavily favored for its mild nutty taste, creamy texture and euphoric effects. 

Average Chemotype - The average Chemotype of Birkar kava from Santo island is 423561. Chemotypes of kava do change with kava cultivars slightly sometimes as they are natural products. The amount of sunlight, rainfall, and nutrients a plant receives varies even within a single garden. 

Grind- Fairly fine but not micronized. Epik Kava is an aggregated kava powder with particle sizes between 40-200 microns if you need nerdy specifics. 

Yield- Yield is subjective based on end users preference, however, we recommend using 100-125g of Epik Kava root powder per gallon of water in your mix. You should easily be able to get 4 gallons (16 liters) or 128 four ounce servings of kava beverage from a 500g bag of Epik Kava root powder. If you are a skilled kava maker you can get as much as 5 gallons (20 liters) or 160 four ounce servings of kava from one 500g bag of Epik Kava root powder. 

Origin- This Birkar kava was sourced on Espiritu Santo island in the Republic of Vanuatu. Santo island is the largest kava growing island and is commonly traveled to in Vanuatu. Most of the Birkar kava that has been grown on Santo island has been consumed on Santo.  Very little has been exported as a single cultivar elsewhere, until now.  This is a true kava connoisseur grade kava. 

Identity- Epik Kava root powder has been lab tested using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to establish it’s characteristics and taxonomic classification as Piper methysticum. 

Strength- The strength of kava is quantitatively measured with kavalactone content. Epik Birkar Kava tests at approximately 5% kavalactone content regularly using HPLC testing. 

Purity- This product has no added fillers and is 100% pure as proven by the microscopy lab results. 

Composition- 100% dried noble kava root powder as proven by the microscopy lab results. Epik Kava powder is approximately 70% basal stump and 30% lateral root which is the approximate ratio it came out of the ground as. 

Epik Kava root powder consistently meets our established specifications for Identity, Purity, Composition and has been manufactured, packaged, labeled in an FDA registered, cGMP compliant facility and held under secure conditions to prevent adulteration and is therefore a high quality product.
