Pohnpei, Micronesia
A traditional drink made from the root of the kava plant, known on Pohnpei as 'sakau'. The root is pounded on a stone and strained through hibiscus fibre, and the muddy-coloured liquid is shared from a cup. Slightly bitter with a tongue-numbing sensation, it is said to calm the mind. Indispensable for welcoming guests and for ceremonies, it is a cup deeply rooted in island life.
