Our Story
About Ohana Awa
“Rooted in Tradition. Shared in Community.”
Our Beginning
A Vision Rooted in Aloha
Ohana Awa was born from a deep love and respect for the Pacific Island tradition of kava — or awa as it is known in Hawaiian culture. We started with a simple belief: that this ancient, sacred plant deserved to be shared in its purest, most respectful form.
The word Ohana means family in Hawaiian, and that's exactly what we've built — a family of growers, distributors, retailers, and kava enthusiasts who all believe in the power of this plant to bring people together.
From careful sourcing of premium noble kava roots to our commitment to educating every partner we work with, Ohana Awa is more than a kava brand. It's a community movement — one shell at a time.
