    "The kava from Kavahana is smooth and easy to drink. It gave me a mellow, clear-headed vibe that lasted for hours. The product itself is wonderful and easy to use. Kava Nectar is really more of an 'instant' kava as it mixes quick and was root juice. Although I am in the kava industry, I purchased this product cause I wanted to try it and give my honest feedback after a week of using it nightly. I was not compensated in anyway and just want to give props where props are deserved."

    β€œHi Kavahana team! I’ve been searching for a kava product I felt β€˜safe’ trying, and finally found it with Kava Nectar. I’ve tried other alcohol alternatives but none of them worked. Yours was the first that gave me a noticeable, positive effect, calm, happy, and grounded, with zero negative side effects. I tried it for the first time and seriously almost cried from relief. I could finally feel something, in a good way. Thank you for creating this. It’s now my go-to for winding down and feeling good without alcohol. Also love that you ship nationwide! I’ll absolutely be a repeat customer.”

    "I was a skeptic in the beginning, especially since the first few tries don’t really do a whole lot due to the β€œreverse tolerance” phenomenon. The Kavahana staff has been very communicative and helpful with me, not to mention patient!As someone who’s cutting down on alcohol I must say this stuff takes the edge off and allows me to socialize without anxiety and doesn’t effect my coordination, etc. Tastes pretty good when mixed with coconut water as well! Give it a shot!"

    "I am an experienced kava drinker. I have searched and tried numerous brands and there is definitely no otherbrand better than kavahana. It is the cleanest, strongest, most powerful, potent, amazing kava on the market. I have been disappointed by every other brands I tried. That’s why I continue to only purchase this brand of kava. Do not let the price stop you, it’s totally worth it!"

FAQ

  • Kava is a natural plant native to the South Pacific Islands and Hawaii, and its roots are enjoyed in a tea-like form.

    Kava has been enjoyed for centuries in social, traditional, and ceremonial settings. Kava lovers report numerous benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing mood, and improving sleep quality. You can read more about kavaΒ here!

  • Kava Nectar is made from cold-pressed juice of noble kava root, then gently dried into a smooth, mixable powder. It contains no root fiber and requires no straining or steeping. Just mix with a cold beverage and it's ready to drink.

    Kava Nectar is NOT a kava extract or isolate. Many extract-based products use solvents or concentrated compounds that may lack the full profile of the plant. Kava Nectar is made only from whole-root noble kava and preserves its natural balance, offering a natural, holistic experience.

  • Yes. We only use noble kava cultivars sourced from trusted farms in the South Pacific. These are the same varieties traditionally used in island communities for generations.

  • Each person’s experience is unique, but kava is traditionally associated with feelings of calm, clarity, and ease. Depending on the cultivar blend of kava nectar, some people enjoy it for quiet focus, while others enjoy it in social settings or as part of a wind-down routine.

  • That gentle tingling sensation comes from kavalactones, the naturally occurring compounds found in the kava root. It is a normal part of the experience and usually fades within a few minutes. The sensation is often enjoyed and occurs because the kava plant belongs to the peppercorn family, which gives it a naturally peppery bite.

  • No. Kava has traditionally been enjoyed as a communal drink and is recognized as the national beverage of Fiji. It is valued for promoting a calm, relaxed state without impairing mental clarity or causing intoxication.

  • Kava is 100% legal in the United States and has been safely enjoyed for centuries in the South Pacific and Hawaiβ€˜i. It is made from the root of the kava plant and has a long history of traditional use in community and ceremonial settings. But, If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult your physician before enjoying kava nectar.

  • Kava is generally very well tolerated, similar to everyday beverages like matcha or coffee. It has been traditionally enjoyed in the Pacific Islands for generations. If you have a large amount, you may feel drowsy, much like after too much strong tea.

    If that happens, simply stop drinking and you should return to normal shortly. Individual experiences may vary.

  • Start with 1 teaspoon mixed into 8 to 12 ounces of cold or lukewarm liquid. Avoid hot liquids, as they can bring out kava nectar’s natural bitterness. Many people notice something within 10 to 20 minutes, though experiences vary.

    Kava is thought to have a kind of "reverse tolerance," where the benefits may feel subtle at first and become more noticeable with continued use. It’s not unusual for people to enjoy additional servings, especially in the beginning.

    In traditional island settings, it’s common for newcomers to be offered additional servings to fully experience the benefits.

  • Kava is NOT considered habit-forming and has been traditionally enjoyed for centuries in communal and ceremonial settings without patterns of dependency. It is often used as a natural option for relaxation and social connection without the same risks commonly associated with alcohol or other substances.

  • No. Micronized kava includes the whole ground root, which can leave a gritty texture and often requires straining. Kava Nectar is made only from the cold-pressed juice of the kava root, pre-strained and gently dried into a smooth powder. It mixes cleanly into cold beverages and is free of fiber or sediment.

  • Each blend of Kava Nectar is made with hand-selected noble kava cultivars traditionally enjoyed for different purposes:

    "Classic" features cultivars traditionally enjoyed for sociability and a light, uplifted state.

    "Relax" includes cultivars traditionally enjoyed for unwinding, calming the body, and easing into rest.

    "Balance" is made with cultivars traditionally enjoyed for clarity, composure, and emotional steadiness.

    You can choose the blend that best matches the moment, whether it's for social ease, evening wind-down, or focused calm.

  • Kava Nectar contains 0 calories and 0 grams of sugar per serving, based on analytical testing by Eurofins. It has no added sweeteners, no flavorings, and no other ingredients: just pure, cold-pressed kava root.

  • Yes. While some enjoy Kava Nectar in the evening, many use it during the day. Different kava cultivars are traditionally associated with different experiences: some may support social ease, focus, or simply a calm moment in a busy day.

  • Kava Nectar is a dry powder and may be carried much like other herbal supplements or teas. Kava is 100% legal in the United States and is often treated similarly to traditional tea or plant-based wellness products. If you plan to travel internationally, it's best to check the local regulations of your destination, as rules around plant products can vary.

  • Kava has been enjoyed daily for centuries in the Pacific Islands and is the national drink of Fiji. Kava Nectar contains no stimulants, sugars, or additives, making it a great option for regular use.

    Many people include it as part of their daily wellness routine. As with any botanical product, it’s always best to listen to your body and enjoy in moderation. However, unlike some botanicals, natural kava root is NOT considered habit-forming

  • No. Kava Nectar is a form of "instant" kava, (NOT micronized), and does not need to be kneaded or strained like traditional kava. It’s a ready-to-drink kava beverage made from cold-pressed noble kava root juice that’s gently dried into a fine, mixable powder. Just stir into a cold beverage and enjoy.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the pouch tightly after each use to maintain freshness.
