In Fijian traditions and ceremonies, a kava cup, also called a bilo, is used to serve kava and yaqona.[1] The Samoan name for this cup is tauau or generally, ipu tau ʻava ('ava cup). It is called "apu" in Hawaii.[2]
The coconut shell cup used for distributing the 'ava in a ʻava ceremony is made from the half shell of a ripe coconut that has been cleaned and polished.[3] It is sometimes ornamented with different designs, and after early European contact it was sometimes decorated with inlaid silver.
