statera


premium traditional kava

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

As a team we probably drink more statera than any of the other blends since it's so universal and it's the perfect balance of release/sedation.

Can be used anytime during the day for a little release and calm. Best for meditative inner work

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.

"a healthier alternative to alcohol and caffeine"

"exceptionally potent... strongest instant kava I’ve tried"

"like I’d been lulled to sleep on a cloud"

"My muscles feel rubbery and my upper body feels light"

why we made this

Great for those moments of cheering a homie on for crushing that route

There are days we are looking for some bright elation and artistic expression, there are also days where we're looking for the generic melting kava experience. But then there are those days we're looking for something a little.... different. We're not looking for something to knock us down, more of something that can be a social lubricant and aid in the unwinding of the afternoon. THIS is why we created the statera blend. It's a unique blend artistic and medium body roots from Vanuatu.

To us, this is a type of kava that more people need to understand. It's not a kava meant for the club. It's a kava designed for relaxing with your friends back at camp after a long day of rucking and climbing through the mountains. It's a kava for those after work surf sessions to help connect you with the water and the waves. It's the kava to try while meditating and balancing your chakra. It's not giggly, it's deep, it's real, it's mother earth.

If you're not introspective or curious about your inner connection to this world, there's plenty of "kava" drinks for you to escape reality with. This is meant to plug you in.

Explore. Drink responsibly

Generic kava is BORING. Don't be boring.

about statera

the statera is still one of the main blends we return to the most due to its incredibly smooth body and more centering characteristics than most others we carry. As a team we probably drink more statera than any of the other blends since it's so universal and one of the easiest to mix in cocktails.

It's a more balanced version, lighter in the head but still fluid in the body for those early evening sunsets. This is a unique kava as it is slightly higher in mental release while still having a unique body heft.

This one is deep friends, We threw in a varietal that's not the norm for kava blends, so approach it with respect

Best for midday or afternoon chill sessions. Perfect for kicking back with friends to do some park yoga on a warm Saturday.

We hope you enjoy and thank you for your continued love and support.

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.
