The local name for kava bowl is Tanoa. Our tanoa is made in Fiji from a native hardwood known as Vesi (Intsia bijuga). This wood is best known for making handicrafts. Large bowls are used for drinking Kava (Yagona), a traditional Fijian drink whereas small bowls are suitable gift ideas for occasions such as Birthdays, Weddings,.
Tanoa is a traditional carved wooden bowl made in different sizes and designs. Tanoas have a triangular lug (mata) that have holes allowing a string made of coconut husk fibre (magimagi) to be tied. For ceremonial purposes, the string is decorated with white cowrie shells (buli leka) and is laid out along the ground towards the honored guest. It is rolled out on the commencement of the kava ceremony and rolled back at the end of the kava ceremony.
