Customers based in New Zealand can order most of the products we stock from our friends at The Kava Society.
We are unable to guarantee delivery outside of Australia. If your package gets seized, lost, or doesn’t reach you for any other reason outside of our control, we won’t be able to offer you any refund.

Returns and Refunds
We want you to enjoy your kava so if you have any concerns or things are not what you expected then please let us know.
