premium traditional kava
statera
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.

why we made this
Great for those moments of cheering a homie on for crushing that route
That perfect balance between relaxation and deep release.
Statera is the pinnacle of what we aim to achieve with a dry kava blend. Often kavas are crafted for social buzz or to melt you into the couch, Statera is designed for those moments when you’re seeking something more meaningful. The times when you want to unwind but stay undoubtably present both to yourself and to the world around you.
Let it be your companion to help you decompress on those post-adventure evenings when you’re back at camp after a day of trekking or surfing. This blend is rooted in the traditions of Vanuatu, using artistic and medium-bodied roots that offer a nuanced experience—a little spicy, a bit earthy, but always smooth.
What makes statera stand out is its versatility. It doesn’t overwhelm you with too much euphoria making you spacey, nor does it drag you down into sedation where you act comatose. Instead, it offers a balanced perspective. This blend is especially effective for those who are tuned into their inner selves and are looking to enhance that connection. If you’re into yoga, meditation, or simply exploring your thoughts, statera can provide a subtle push towards clarity and tranquility.
In short, statera is profoundly grounding and for those who appreciate the deeper aspects of kava.
Ideal for early evening sessions, it’s the dependable kava you reach for when you’re ready to wind down the day
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.

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.
