Paypal problems

12/2/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello, we are having an issue with Paypal at the moment, so we are unable to process payments using that service. It's unclear what the problem is, but somehow our account was locked out due to the way the Paypal algorithm works. I've been trying to find out what caused the problem, so that I can fix it, but there is not any information being provided to us. 

We also accept Google and Apple payment methods if you'd like to purchase that way. Or, you may also contact me directly and I can fulfill the purchase for you over the phone. 

 I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. ​

No, seriously, we've got more than just kava. Click around. You might find something to warm your heart. Or, just hang out for a while; it warms mine. Welcome to Fiji Fresh!

SHUTTING DOWN. ShAPING UP? SHIPPING Upgrades!

5/23/2020

To help everyone match their budgets, I upgraded the site to allow more shipping options. If you want to save a few bucks, first class is available (no insurance, tho). If you're cravings are insatiable and you need your kava yesterday, there's now an overnight express option. 

International shipping has been a challenge. COVID has been a huge disruption to the supply chain as folks are scrambling to move government resources around to best serve those who need help the most. Unfortunately, that has meant that some international USPS shipments have been sitting in a warehouse for two months. Fear not, these will get to you eventually. In the mean time, if you want more confidence, you may use UPS or DHL. I've connected Fiji Fresh to both networks.

I see this stated in many places on the internet, but seldom referenced. The original claim was made in the book: 

Lebot, Vincent. & Merlin, Mark David. & Lindstrom, Lamont Carl.  1992,  Kava : the Pacific drug / Vincent Lebot, Mark Merlin, and Lamont Lindstrom  Yale University Press New Haven

kava is rich in microbes. drink your grog fast or they'll take over.

Kava beverages are becoming more popular these days. Out of curiosity, I looked into the shelf life of premixed kava. It turns out there was a research article already published on this topic. Conclusion? 2 days. When you mix kava, 2 days is about the maximum time you want it to sit around.

Moral of the story? Don’t let your grog sit around; drink it down!

Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access (PHAMA) has been working to establish the National Fijian Quality Standard for kava. This quality standard has been described in the Fijian Kava Quality Manual, released in 2017. The manual touches on all aspects of kava including: transplanting seedlings, soil, fertilizers, pests, harvest, post harvest, storage, and transport. It also emphasizes testing and best practices throughout. It's a great document.

separating makas at home

9/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Makas are the fibrous plant matter leftover in your strainer bag when you make a kava beverage in the traditional way. In Fiji, makas are called cosas, which is synonymous with 'fiber' or 'trash'. There are many reasons why it's important to filter makas from your beverage. First, many think that makas cause nausea and that they can accelerate the onset of dermopathy. Also, makas are lower in kavalactones, so including them in powder will dilute the potency. Manufacturers of instant kava are able to charge a premium because they take special, proprietary steps to remove makas. It's preferable to remove makas from undried roots, but I wondered if I could find an effective way using whole, dried roots.
