May 20, 2018. ‘Awa mahakea harvested and its roots were processed into frozen, fresh ground kava.
Here’s a video and photo narrative on what our recent harvest of July 9, 2016 involved.
Ta-da! Jonathan, Robert and Kana. This ‘awa mahakea was cultivated using OMRI-certified EM·1®, and EM Bokashi to provide for its overall plant health and outstanding properties of flavor, shelf-life and effectiveness.
The root ball is heavy.
Super clean! Nothing beats trained human eyes for ensuring that all traces of soil and/or foreign matter are removed prior to grinding and milling.
Grind at 1/4″, prepping for dehydration. Some fresh material is saved for freezing, however, the bulk is dehydrated and micronized for wholesale and export.
ʻAwa nō ka ʻoi ™. Freshly milled powder after dehydration; particle size is on the order of 10 microns. Frozen fresh grind at 1/4″, background. Product processing was completed within 24 hours of harvest.
