Q: Can you get Kava Kava in China?

Kava (PIPER METHYSTICUM) is a Fijian herb that can be prepared as a drink. It provides a relaxing sensation and is sometimes used as an alternative to alcohol, as it is much healthier for you. I understand that it is used in traditional Chinese medicine and is referred to as Ka Wa Hu Jiao卡瓦胡椒. I'm wondering how readily available Kava is in China and if anyone has tried it and can speak to its quality.. With the dangers of fake alcohol in China, Kava seems like a much better option.

Thanks

I've never heard of anyone drinking this but I suggest you go to a traditional Chinese pharmacy like Tongrentang and ask there.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
