a bit about me

In my 20's I was working long hours... and binge drinking. A lot. It took a massive toll on my body, my productivity, my mental health, my self respect 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.

What originally started as a side project to scratch an itch, has blossomed into one of the most recognizable kava brands in America. At the drinkroot fam, we feel the frustrations you have with finding and brewing a proper grog to ease those hard days.

We've spent years drinking gallons of the best and worse kava, so you don't have to. These blends represent the cream of the crop

Our dream is to spread the love of real kava and make it accessible to everyone.
We hope you will join us on this mission

From our family to yours, Mahalo nui loa!

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!
