raw epicure


premium instant kava juice

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

A fresh blend of juice made by squeezing out roots carrying raw kava juice. Closest thing to a natural cup of kava outside of hopping on the plane to the island itself!

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

All of our jars have a scooper. 1 scoop is between 170mg - 300mg+ of kavalactones depending on the blend or varietal.

This is more of a guidance since all kava's have different experience profiles.

Regardless, expect 50+ servings with a 100g 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.

Closest thing to sipping fresh kava juice on the islands without hopping on a plane.

This blend captures the essence of raw kava straight from the roots, delivering a potent, heady experience that kava lovers crave. We’ve sourced high kavain varietals, known for their euphoric and uplifting effects, and crafted a blend that mirrors the fresh kava served at the our favorite nakamals.

What makes Raw Epicure unique is the process. We start by selecting the highest quality kava roots, known for their strong, heady effects. These roots are then brewed to extract the fresh juice and rapidly dehydrated to lock in all the flavor, freshness, and potency. The result? A blend that gives you that raw, natural kava experience, but in a form that’s easy to enjoy at home.

Just mix a scoop or two with water, and you’re set. The first sip hits you with a clear, calming perception, followed by a mild body float that’s just enough to take the edge off without making you sleepy. The flavor is fresh and drinkable, with a hint of lemon and grass, balanced by a noticeable numbing sensation that kava fans will appreciate. It’s smooth, clean, and very versatile.

Raw Epicure is a great social kava—easy to mix into mocktails or enjoy with friends. This blend is one of the few that you can drink in the morning, giving you a gentle lift without any of the heaviness.

If you’re looking for a kava that brings you as close as possible to the authentic island experience, Raw Epicure is your ticket. It’s a fan favorite for a reason, offering a unique, heady buzz that’s light on the body but heavy on enjoyment.

Generic kava is BORING. Don't be boring.

about raw epicure

A True Instant Raw Kava

If you're a kava lover you know on the islands you can drink "raw/green kava" made from these fresh roots. In America you can only drink kava made from dried roots. So we decided to brew the fresh kava juice out on the islands, dehydrate it, and bring this experience to the states.

The Kavain heavy blend is higher in heady/euphoria. A clear calming perception is balanced with a mild body float. A very drinkable kava, an initial lemon/grass spice onset is balanced with an even numbing sensation. Perfect for a daytime exploration.

what is instant kava

cheers to the world of instant kava

Often imitated never duplicated

drinkroot instant 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 harvest, every amalgamated batch of roots first undergoes a strict QC analysis to ensure premium kavalactone characteristics and content to match your desired experience profile.

The proprietary blend is then carefully brewed and homogenized in a closed temperature controlled environment with warm filtered water to mimic traditional brew methods. After juice is pressed it is rapidly dehydrated so it can be immediately added to any liquid without any filtering needed!

No bark.
No fillers.
No micronized roots.
Pure kava.
