Kava.

An online friend of mine will spend a two-month vacation in Hawaii starting mid-July. I told her to bring me Hawaiian souvenirs when she gets back such as a hula doll, kukui nuts, puka shells, mother pearl hibiscus & plumerias, ukulele or a hula skirt. She said she'll try to give me everything that's on my list plus the Organic Vegan Chocolate which is made from kava.

Kava is an ancient crop of the western Pacific (Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, etc) which pertains to the plant or the beverage produced from its roots. While it is known as a legal intoxicant in other countries, Kona Kava Farm grows 426 strains of Kava and extract the roots, powderize and market them as a safe herbal supplement. Kava can be mixed with water, fruit or vegetable juices and even be made into yummy delicacies such as chocolates and hoodia gordonii products. This so-called National Drink of Fiji is a herbal medicine against stress, insomnia and anxiety.
