Buy Kava, Ground and Packed
Green Gold Trading in Glen Eden lists Fiji kava on DoorToShop. What is in the pouch, how to keep it, and where to read about preparing it properly.
Green Gold Trading Limited is a local Auckland store in Glen Eden, listing Fiji kava on DoorToShop. The range is small and specific: ground kava root from Fiji, sold by weight in a sealed pouch and couriered to your door.
This page covers the store and the pack — what you are actually buying, how to keep it once it is open, and how to order. Kava itself has a lot more to it than that, and rather than half-tell it here we have written it up properly: our guide to Fiji kava covers what it is, the custom around it, and how it is traditionally prepared.

What Is in the Pouch
Ground root, not a leaf or an extract
Kava is made from the root of the plant, dried and ground to a powder. What arrives is that powder in a sealed foil pouch, not a tea bag, a capsule or a liquid.
Yaqona is the Fijian name
Kava is the name most people use in English; yaqona is what it is called in Fiji, where this one comes from. Both refer to the same thing.
Sold by weight, in a foil pouch
The current listing is a 100 gram pouch. Foil rather than clear plastic, which is the right packaging for a ground botanical — light and air are what dull it.
It is prepared, not brewed
Kava is mixed with water and strained rather than boiled like tea. The method is customary and worth reading before your first pouch — our separate guide covers it properly.
Preparing it is its own subject. Kava is mixed with water and strained rather than brewed, and in Fiji there is a settled custom around how it is made and shared. Read our guide to Fiji kava before your first pouch.
Keeping It Once It Is Open
Ground root behaves like any other ground botanical in a cupboard: it is fine if you keep air, heat, light and moisture away from it, and dull if you do not.
- Reseal the pouch properly after opening, or move the powder into an airtight container. Ground root loses its character to air faster than whole root would.
- Keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark — a cupboard rather than a windowsill or above the stove. Heat and light are what flatten a ground botanical.
- Keep it dry. Moisture is the one thing that will spoil a pouch of ground root rather than merely dull it, so dry hands and a dry spoon every time.
- Buy for the occasion rather than to stockpile. Like any ground spice or botanical, a pouch used within a few months is better than one kept for a year.
- Check the pack weight against the price if you are comparing sellers — kava is sold in several pack sizes and price per 100 grams is the comparison that means something.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Green Gold Trading sell?
Fiji kava. The store is a local Auckland merchant on DoorToShop and currently lists a 100 gram pouch of ground kava root, sold online for courier delivery rather than collection.
What exactly is in the pouch?
Dried, ground kava root from Fiji. It is a powder rather than a tea bag, a capsule or a liquid, and it is prepared with water and strained rather than brewed.
Where is the store?
18 Hydra Place, Glen Eden, Auckland. Orders are placed online and couriered — enter your postcode at checkout to confirm delivery coverage for your address.
How do I prepare it?
Kava is mixed with water and strained rather than boiled, and there is a customary way of doing it that is worth knowing. Our separate guide to Fiji kava covers the preparation and the custom around it in full.
How should I store it once it is open?
Reseal the pouch or decant it into an airtight container, and keep it somewhere cool, dry and dark. Air, heat, light and moisture are what dull ground root, and moisture is the one that will actually spoil it.
Is kava legal to buy in New Zealand?
Yes. Kava is sold here as a food and traditional beverage and is available from grocery and specialty retailers. It is not sold or supplied as a medicine, and nothing about it should be treated as one.
How do I compare prices between sellers?
By weight. Kava is sold in several pack sizes, so work out the price per 100 grams and compare that rather than the price of the pouch.
How fast is delivery?
Orders are dispatched by the store the next business day and typically arrive within 1 to 3 business days by courier. Enter your postcode at checkout to confirm delivery coverage for your address.
How much does delivery cost?
The base delivery fee is $5 NZD, with free delivery on orders above $69 — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value.

Photograph it before opening anything further and contact the store the same day. Returns are handled by the store that sold the item, and nothing in a store's policy limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. Contact DoorToShop support if you need help reaching the store.
