Exciting Happenings

I Posted this on the Bula Kava House website recently, figured I'd throw it up here since I haven't posted in a while. Remember that if anything here appeals to your kava loving soul and you're not able to make it in to the kava bar you can buy kava products at our online store.


It is an exciting time at Bula Kava House. I don’t think there has ever been a more necessary blog entry. We have new menu items, new retail products, and an awesome new to go option. This of course is all in addition to the much stronger kava mentioned in the last entry which has been getting rave reviews.

Right around Thanksgiving we added kava jars for folks wanting to drink kava outside of the bar but don’t feel like making it themselves. Think of them as kava growlers. These half gallon jars are a one time $5 cost for the jar itself and the first fill is either $24.50 or $27.50 depending on your kava choice. Every time you refill the jar the cost goes down to either $22.50 or $25.50. That’s quite the savings compared to the cost of that amount of kava bought at our regular prices ($28 or $30). A big hand to Lucie for this fantastic idea and for getting it done.

We also last week got our first shipment of concentrated instant “green” kava powder. We’ve been waiting for the right supplier to come along to provide some of this stuff and it looks like we finally found him. Green kava is super potent kava made using the juice of fresh kava root. It is made concentrated and instant by dehydrating that juice into a powder. This is in no way replacing the excellent kava choices we already have, just enhancing them. Now you can order your shell of kava and for $2 we’ll add a serving of Vanuatu Instant Green Kava to super charge it. This makes for an extremely strong shell. You can also buy Vanuatu Instant Green Kava in the kava bar or online in 50 or 100 gram tins.

We are also adding Vanuatu Instant Green Kava to our Kava Juice Blends. This allows us to make these drinks super potent without adding a ton of kava liquid volume. The apple ginger blend is on point!
Finally, for the holiday season Ohana has replaced the mac nut pie they normally make for us with a pumpkin haupia pie. The shortbread crust topped with haupia coconut custard and whipped cream is just right for this time of year.

If you haven’t been in for a while, now is a great time to come say hi, and try some of the new offerings. We’d love to see you. If you’ve been in recently you’ve already tried this stuff and know how good it is, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing you again soon.
