Nature Intended
Reaching for the bottle and wishing the weekend would come sooner? - This isn't living
Clinical data has shown drinking alcohol at the end of the day may seem like a good idea, but it actually causes more stress over time.
What if there was a better, natural answer to take back control of your day
rooted in ancient tradition
Kava is a ceremonial drink from the South Pacific, and has been used for hundreds of years to do just this.
The effects are celebrated worldwide for the calming sense of euphoria they produce. A single cup of kava can release tension in the mind and body, acting as nature's perfect antidote to a stress-filled world.

a little about me
In my 20's I was working long hours... and binge drinking.
I'm not gonna lie, it was fun. But it took a massive toll on my body, my work, my mind, and the relationships with people I cared about the most. I discovered kava on accident one fateful morning and fell in love with the calming and euphoric experience. I was finally able to unplug and destress while more importantly, staying present with the people I cared about the most.
What originally started as a side project to scratch an itch, has blossomed into one of the most recognizable kava brands in America. At drinkroot, we understand the frustrations you have with finding and brewing a proper grog.
We spent countless months sourcing the best, and of course,
drinking gallons of good and bad kava so you don't have to.
Our dream is to spread the love of kava and make it accessible to everyone.
We hope you will join us on this mission
From our family to yours, Mahalo nui loa!

MARGARETTE
Graphic Designer
I have an inevitable thirst for fun and exciting activities. I enjoy surfing, going to the beach, taking care of my two dogs and 30+ houseplants, traveling the world, and meeting new people. As a designer, I believe that art is at the core of each and every one of us. Also, I am a huge fan of Seth Rogen.
ARIA
Operations Assistant
I am trained in Inferno Hot Pilates. My favorite types of yoga are hot, yin, and sometimes vinyasa. If I am not working out on the mat, I am out on a hike with my beloved dog Sombra. My next travel destination is Japan, maybe South Korea, and perhaps Monaco for an F1 Grand Prix!
VANESSA
Customer Succcess
I am a lover of life and nature. I believe that everything we are going through, good or bad, will always lead us to where we are meant to be. I am a passionate dressmaker and believe that a beautiful dress has the power to make a woman's day. I also often save ants from drowning. Because you know, they also have a life! 😆
KYLE
Founder of drinkroot
I am a forever student of life and am fascinated by everything, often to my detriment. I am also a research physicist by training so I love figuring out how things work. Lastly, I'm slightly obsessed with furry animals and would go out of my way to feed rats in the NYC subways because they're adorable!
