Fijian Kava Ceremonies
The Fijian kava ceremony is a very important cultural event that is often conducted to celebrate special occasions such as the welcoming of guests, marriage, births, and funerals. The ceremony itself involves the preparation and serving of kava, a drink made from the roots of the Piper methysticum plant. The drink is served in a large wooden bowl known as a Tanoa.
The Tanoa is an important part of Fijian culture and is often decorated with carvings or paintings that depict aspects of Fijian mythology or history. The Tanoa is also used to honor guests, as it is considered an honor to be served kava from the Tanoa. It is considered an honor to be served kava from the Tanoa.

The bilo is a common drinking vessel used in the Fijian kava ceremony. It is a half coconut shell that is used to drink the kava from the Tanoa. The bilo is passed around the group of men who are gathered around the Tanoa, and each man takes a sip of kava from it.
When the kava is being presented in a bilo, the recipient claps once and says ‘Bula!’. Normally the kava is drunk in one gulp if possible, and further claps three more times and end with the word Maca – pronounced ‘Ma-tha’.
