For centuries, the Pacific Islands have celebrated kava, a soothing drink made from the roots of the kava plant, for its unique ability to inspire connection, relaxation, and joy.

Kava’s active compounds, called kavalactones, naturally promote a sense of well-being without the drawbacks of alcohol. Unlike alcohol, kava offers relaxation without inebriation or mental cloudiness, providing a clear-minded calm.

At Melo, we believe that the best experiences start with the best ingredients. That's why our journey began in the lush landscapes of Vanuatu, where the kava plant has naturally thrived for centuries.

Our team focuses not just on where kava comes from, but how it's grown and transported. We're deeply committed to sustainability, ensuring that every root we source is not only of the highest quality but also harvested with the utmost respect for the environment.

Using an innovative extraction process and kava sourced from organic Vanuatu fields, we have been able to create a best-in-class harvesting and extraction process, ensuring the potency and purity of our kava.

At Melo, our mission goes beyond simply making great drinks. We're proud to have partnered with the United Nations to actively work to lift the Pacific Islands' economy through the power of kava, bringing this incredible plant to new markets.

Additionally, we’re supporting sustainable farming practices, enhancing quality standards, and providing local farmers with the tools needed for long-term success through our Kava Growers Alliance. Together, our organization is committed to increasing kava awareness and building stronger communities through responsible trade.
