Kava: What is Kava? Kava is a traditional south Pacific drink known for its relaxing and mellowing effects. Kava is derived from the roots of a pepper plant that grows in Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, and Hawaii.

Kava is also a ceremonial and spiritual drink used to create bonds, agreements, settle disputes, and welcome visitors.

The Kava bar has its North American roots in Boca Raton. Bula Kafe's sister Kava bar, Nakava, has been in operation for nearly 10 years. Since its inception, several other Kava bars have sprung up throughout south Florida.
