Black Lava Vape and Kava Bar in Naalehu, Hawai'i Big Island

Black Lava Kava and Vape Bar in Naalehu, Hawai'i Big Island showcased by Hilo's Bayfront Kava Bar owner, Kava Dave Stevenson, a pioneer in bringing ancient Hawaiian Awa root, sacred drink of the Ali'i into the 21st century. He has taught many of us, Kanaka and Haole, residents and foreigners how to drink Awa Root known as Kawa in the ancient way. First we begin with a clap. Then he stirs the mana of the Kawa followed by making an offering to da Aina... da Aumakua. I dip my finger in the coconut cup of Kawa as an offering to Ke Akua, a word that means much more than its definition. Ancient Hawaiian Ceremony Awa Root Hawaiian Kingdom Hilo, Big Island Eight Kava Bars making this Island the most heavily populated place known in the world for establishments offering up fresh awa root. and the ancient Hawaiian and Polynesian ceremony of Kawa. Aloha nui loa Ke Akua and mahalo nui loa Aumakua, Haumea, Wakea and Kawa Dave. -Kawika Kawananakoa
