connoisseur blend


premium traditional kava

One of the most magical things about small batch kava is the profound differences in experience from jar to jar.

Connoisseur is a classic example of what all kava's should strive to be and the best representation of a traditional kava experience. Unparalleled mental calm and heft. Bula!

What is kava?

Haven’t heard of kava? Kava is made from the roots of a pepper plant native to the South Pacific. It has a fascinating earthy yet numbing taste, that results from the high level of calming actives in the roots.

Natural kava is vegan, gluten-free, nonaddictive, and full of liver protecting properties.

How many servings

Each jar servings depend deeply on how strong you batch it . Keep in mind you can also batch multiple times.

Regardless, expect 14+ servings per jar

Is kava safe

Kava is generally recognized as a safer/healthier non-addictive alternative to alcohol as long as it is consumed in the traditional form.

For this reason we generally DO NOT recommend non-traditional methods of using kava such as: pills, concentrates, ready-to-drink made with concentrates, tinctures, and micronized kava. These are convenient but aside for the last one, they shouldn't be called kava. In the same way you don't put caffeine in a pill and call it coffee, you shouldn't put extract in a soda can and call it kava.

Traditional kava has not been shown to be addictive in clinical trials and does not activate physiological or psychological addiction tendancies found in beverages and supplements like alcohol or kratom.

what is traditional kava

cheers to the world of exquisite kava's

For the purist at heart

drinkroot traditional kava starts with a careful selection of either single origin harvests or a hand selected blend of the top noble varietals, to create a unique premium mixture.

After the plant is pulled from the ground, the basal and lateral roots are separated, debarked, and cut up into manageable chunks for drying. Afterward every batch of roots undergoes a strict QC analysis to ensure premium kavalactone characteristics and content to match your desired experience profile.

No bark.
No weak filler roots.
Pure. Powerful. kava.

The recipe

Our favorite way to make kava. You can go the long way, shorten this however you like, but this consistently makes the strongest grogs.

Recipe

  • 2-3 ounces of kava kava dried root powder
  • 2 ounces of full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 strainer (nut bag, cheesecloth, etc)
  • 1 water boiler w/thermostat
  • 1 large bowl
  • Slices of Pineapple for taste

Extra Key Takeaways

  • Use a quality nut bag. Between 75-100 micron. Here's the one we recommend https://amzn.to/3eCboTh 
  • Coconut milk (or another fat emulsifier)
  • Hot water ~ 140F or slightly lower. I'm using this boiler - https://amzn.to/3CIvtiB
  • Steep 45min to 1 hour (You can go more but I get impatient)
  • Wring and mesh out the kava for 10-15 minutes
