Mica's Technique

Mica shares advice on not overloading the mixing cloth with kava. Enough to manage in one hand while the other ‘mixes it properly’.

Mica, who hails from the chiefly province of Bau, is using a tanoa from the Lau group in Fiji’s Eastern Division.

Mana Island in Fiji’s Mamanuca group is right next door to where Castaway was filmed with Tom Hanks in 1998. If you were castaway on a Fijian island what cultivar of kava would you hope to find there?
