Us vs. Them
Not overhyped or overpriced. Just pure, single-origin kava done right.
Not all kava is created equal.
Ours is superior.
Single origin varietals
Each batch is sourced directly from family farms, not blended commodity root. You know exactly where your kava comes from.
Fresh juice extraction
Kava roots batched still containing fresh kava juice. Closest thing to a cup of fresh kava outside of hopping on a plane to the islands
Noble kava only
Source exclusively noble kava chemotypes, no solvents, no shortcuts, only traditional varieties trusted for thousands of years.
Meticulous selection
Just because a bag says 'Kelai', doesn't mean you're getting THE Kelai. You're getting someone's attempt at Kelai. A growers patience, care, location, soil, and harvest separate the wheat from the chaff.

a bit about me
From Binge Drinking to Building a Movement
In my 20's I was working long hours... and binge drinking. A lot. It took a massive toll on my body, my mental health, and the relationships with people I cared about the most.
I discovered kava on accident and fell in love with the calming and euphoric experience. I was able to unplug, destress, and stay present.
What originally started to scratch an itch has blossomed into one of the most recognizable kava brands in America. We've spent a decade drinking gallons of the best and worst kava so you don't have to.
Every drinkroot-backed varietal must meet the whole team's approval and represents the cream of the crop.
If we don't like it, we won't sell it. Period.
Our dream is to spread the love of real kava and make it accessible to everyone. We hope you'll join us on this mission.
From our ohana to yours, Mahalo nui loa! ❤️ 🤙
