The Village Entrepreneurs: The Kava Business Part 2 (The Processing)🇫🇯

In this vlog we are working on how to process the kava after we bought it from Bureta. This is the day after we went to Bureta to buy the kava.

From the Lewena we have to scrape off the skin of the Lewena. In our village that is a must when you process yaqona (kava). This has been past down from the elders till the youths today and the elders will enforce you if you don't scrape off the skin because that is part of the process in Navuti Village.

After scraping off the skin of the Lewena then you cut it in to thin pieces so it easier and can dry faster when you dry it in the sunlight.

After cutting it to thiner pieces you wash it by soaking it in water for a whole day then you change the water wash it again and then you can start to dry the lewena.

The Wake (roots) you just have to make sure it is clean before you dry them and luckily the farmers already cleaned it for us so it wasn't much work for Josese and Timoci to clean it again before they put it up to dry on top of Joseses house.
