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.

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.

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.

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.

Kava is 100% legal in the United States and has been safely enjoyed for centuries in the South Pacific and Hawai‘i. 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.

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.
