Captain Cook's Kava

Premium Pacific Kava for Europe — Est. 1773

The Pacific's Best Kept Secret

"It creates not the noisy drunkenness of wine... but a placid and tranquil state"
— George Forster, Ship's Naturalist aboard HMS Resolution, 1773

While others sought gold, Captain James Cook found something more valuable. In 1773, aboard the HMS Resolution, Cook's expedition documented the ceremonial drink of Pacific royalty — Kava. For centuries, this sacred root had been reserved for chiefs and ceremonies, a drink that brought peace without the chaos of alcohol.
