Malo Fiji, im Samoan but I mix with Tongans, actually Tongans and Samoans like it strong, dark, thick mix, but it's all Love in the circle, especially the jam session, MANUIA!!....SOIFUA!! 🔥🔥🔥

Went to Fiji for the first time in 87’ with my wife and kids. Had my first experience trying kava on that trip and I can say it wasn’t very pleasant the first time. I love the way Fijians can sit around the kava bowl and sing beautiful music and laugh like there’s no stress or worries in the world. We have since went back and visited your beautiful country over 15 times since 87’. So many fond memories for our kids growing up and making life long friends. BULA, TAKI. 😊

I'm sure I read that Fijians drink weak kava, so they can keep drinking it all day. This is so confusing. I want actual surveys done now.

Tongan kava has different properties. It's lighter in taste, but not effect. It's also more heady, Fijan is usually more balanced or relaxing . (Think Indica vs sativa with cannabis)

I’m in south Florida and Kava is becoming pretty popular down here. I love Kava bars so much 🥰

Bula! I was fortunate enough as an American to participate in a kava celebration just outside of Nadi near the sleeping giant. It was in 1993. I was 15 years old.

I grew up around Alot Of Fijian families man I just love the Vibe man I remember my First Kava.

Um I've never looked up anything kava or Polynesian cultural related in my life. But last night me and the fam were drinking and talking about kava... And today this shows up in my recommendations

Hahaha cool, wish I was there. Dude in the red is like let's drink already.

This video popped into my KZread recommendations for some unexplained reason...not complaining though - I like this interesting glimpse into Fijian culture. (Cheers all the way from Malaysia, fellas.)

Im training someone at work thats Fijian, he said he'll bring me kava. His mom is full native Fijian and his dad is Indian, super friendly and good hearted guy. Seems like a fun culture, beatiful place and people.

To anyone reading this, you’ll still get arrested for drinking kava and driving if you’re intoxicated. You might not get a DUI, but you’ll get a DWI same as someone driving high on weed or pain killers. If you can’t pass a roadside test, you’ll get arrested. Also, it’s just a bad idea to drive intoxicated in the first place.

Mahalo from Hawaiʻi!!

Drinking Kava for the first time in my life while watching this. What a great feeling! Wish I was there, but I'm grateful to have Kava and see you guys having a good time. Bula!

i haven’t ever had a proper kava ceremony, because i definitely don’t want to disrespect islander culture, but i use kava tincture mixed with juice after i get home from work instead of alcohol, and with my friends :)

thank you just tried kava for the first time today and am looking forward to brewing up my own batch. this stuff is amazing.

Thank you for the introductions related cava sermonies of Fiji cultures! Merci Beaucoup!🌴🌻🌷

Mahalo from Cali , I’m half samoan 🤙🏾

Three dudes sittin’ around, havin’ a good time!

Always such a great sense of humour !!!

Im Tongan, but I've mixed with my uncles once and I gotta say kava makes you relaxed in a type of way lol.🤣🤣

Aww Joey and Siti still can’t get over how grown you boys are 😱 well done 👍🏽 with the yaqona tutorial 😉! Loloma to you both and new bub (Joey)...mum and not forgetting beautiful Aunty Mary & the rest of the tribe. ❤️🙏🏽

Great video! There's a lot of videos about making kava, but this is the only one I ran into that includes the cultural stuff. Very interesting!

Much love from PNG my Fijian brothers, drinking Fijian kava in Brisbane rn!

you guys are so funny! i loved watching this.

He tried to explain it to me but we were rushing around and I didn't get a good explanation. I've been afraid to try it so I've added a teaspoon to my almond milk in hopes of helping my pain and anxiety. I would love to participate in a Kava Ceremony though. Thank you for the video.

Hi i know it has been a while since you posted your comment but since nobody said anything i will Just in case you didn’t know, you don’t want to consume the powder/plant material itself. It’s like coffee or tea where you don’t want the whole plant but just what is dissolved.

Welcome Fiji. Thats what we see during a televised rugby 7s match. It can go on till you decide to stop. A good way to socialise after a hard days work, but do not abuse that drink . By the way taki tale.

Regardless of who drinks it stronger. The concept remains the same. Kava is used to relax and Ela with famili & friends. All love for the pasifika ✌🏾😁

Think us Samoans need to drink this more than alcohol to calm the anger issues lol jks bula my taganes 👏🏽👏🏽

They are so cute

That was a cool guide

Great video! I am always trying to be an ambassador of kava to the USA

Beautifully shown 👏👏 this way yo 😆 love this made me lmao cuz i saw that toko's cup on the rt side spill and was 💀💀 but knew y'all poly's wouldn't let it slide cuz yall ploy 😂 😆 plus when u @ the kumete, nothing slides makes for best stories 4 the next kava session 😆 🤣

Very informative!

I was honored to have kava with a Fijian family a few times. I would love to have it again.

great vibes

Awesome delivery guys, am making some as I am watching this, to learn from the experts! Bula!

Thank you guys. I was wondering if I was making it right. I get a nice dark color mix. I have been using kava for about 2 years. Well I used it for about 6 months straight then stopped because I couldnt find the time to make it. But I'm back to drinking it and I love kava. I especially love mixing it with kratom. Best combo ever.

that was beautiful

I had a cup of kava, while I was watching a bunch of these old Tongans elders mix it. Me and my cousin were 8 at the time and it tasted like dirt, I drank the whole thing because I didn’t want to look like a chump. It was very light though and I enjoyed it a bit

You guys make wonderful company. My best friend got her Kava in today, and she informs me that I have to try it with her. It's there anything I should be worried about, other than being sleepy.
