Description:
Root of Happiness Premium Ground Kava Root – Samoan is traditionally prepared kava in its most familiar form: finely ground root, ready to knead and strain the way it has been done across the Pacific Islands for generations. It suits anyone who wants to make kava the traditional way, first bowl or five-hundredth.
Kava (Piper methysticum) is a root with a long history of ceremonial and social use in Pacific Island cultures, including Samoa, where this variety comes from. Many people report a calm, grounded feeling from a properly prepared kava session, though experiences vary and depend a lot on preparation and serving size.
This half-pound bag sits in our Kava Powder category, and it’s worth knowing that ground root is a different experience from an extract or an instant mix. Preparation takes a few minutes of kneading, and the result is the classic earthy brew. One bag yields roughly 4 to 6 quarts of prepared kava, which works out to plenty of sessions per purchase.
Benefits:

What is kava, and what does it feel like?
Kava is a root from the Pacific Islands, traditionally prepared as a drink for social and ceremonial occasions. Many people report a calm, relaxed feeling after a session, though the experience varies from person to person and depends on how strong you prepare it. If you’re new, start gently with a single serving and pay attention to how you respond.
How do I prepare ground kava root?
The traditional method is straightforward. Pour the ground kava into a strainer bag at a ratio of 6 grams per 1/2 cup of water, knead the bag in a bowl of water for about 3 minutes, then drink. It’s meant to be gulped rather than sipped. Root of Happiness also offers a video walkthrough at howtomakekava.com if you’d like to see it done.
How is ground kava root different from a kava extract?
They can be very different experiences. Ground root is the traditional format: you prepare it yourself, control the strength, and drink it as a brew. Extracts and instant kava are concentrated or pre-processed for convenience. Both have their place, but if you want the classic ritual and a milder starting point, ground root is the traditional route.
Is this kava lab tested?
Yes. Every batch of Root of Happiness kava is tested for quality and purity, and the certificate of analysis for this Samoan ground root is linked in the Lab Results section below, so you can review it before you buy.
How many servings are in a bag?
Each half-pound bag contains 38 servings at 1 tablespoon (6 grams) each, and a full bag prepared traditionally yields about 4 to 6 quarts of kava. If ground root sounds like your speed, or you just want to compare varieties, you can shop all Kava Powder and find the one that fits.
Suggested Use:
- Pour ground kava into a strainer bag, using 6 grams of kava per 1/2 cup of water.
- Knead the strainer bag in a bowl of water for about 3 minutes.
- Enjoy your kava, traditionally from a coconut shell cup. It’s a gulping drink, not a sipping one.
One serving is 1 tablespoon (6g). Start with a single serving, wait to see how you feel, and adjust from there. One half-pound bag makes 4 to 6 quarts of prepared kava.
