Hello, dear readers of Kava Vine! Despite the continuous rain we have been experiencing lately, one thing remains constant: the thriving kava business. This week, I embarked on a delightful journey to explore one of Port Vila’s finest kava bars at Stade – none other than the popular Red Flower.

Operated by the hardworking Aristide Tabi hailing from the village of Melsisi in Central Pentecost, Red Flower is not your ordinary kava joint. Mr. Tabi, a proud kava farmer himself, showcases his passion for the industry by serving up his prized Pentecost Kava at window Number 6 with a warm smile. But here’s the kicker – he doesn’t just sell dry kava; he’s mastered the art of kava juice-making, lifting the kava experience to new heights.

Tabi’s journey into the kava trade began in Pentecost, but faced with the challenges of finding buyers, he decided to set sail for Port Vila. Equipped with his premium kava and a team of eager helpers, he arrived in the capital city a few months ago, ready to make his mark. And mark it, he did!

Red Flower isn’t just a kava bar; it’s a lifeline for Tabi and his community. The proceeds from his booming kava business not only cover his daily expenses but also contribute to essentials like school fees, rent for the nakamal, and providing employment for local boys.

Every week, like clockwork, 15 bags of freshly harvested kava make their voyage from Pentecost to Port Vila, ensuring a steady supply for Red Flower’s discerning patrons. And let’s talk about the prices – at VT500 for 1.5kg or VT300 for a 600ml serving, Red Flower boasts the most wallet-friendly kava in town. Believe me, I’ve searched the kava scene far and wide!

But enough about logistics, let’s talk taste. Red Flower’s kava is nothing short of spectacular. Clean, smooth, and packing a potent punch, it’s the perfect companion for a laid-back gathering with friends or a solo moment of relaxation.

But hey, don’t just take my word for it. Swing by Red Flower and let your taste buds be the judge. Kava is served promptly at 2:30pm, giving you ample time to grab a takeaway or settle in at the nakamal for the ultimate kava experience.

So, what are you waiting for? See you at Red Flower – where the kava flows, the prices are right, and the vibe is always just right. Cheers to that!
