The kava beverage has roots in Polynesian cultures. It is made from the roots of the kava plant. The roots are ground into a powder and then mixed with water to create a drink with unique relaxation-inducing properties. Kavahana, LA's emerging beverage pop-up, is leading the Kava movement in North America. The brand, which was founded by Neil Bhatia and Hannah Wilen, recently launched an online shop that sells the brand's Kava Nectar™, opening the doors for more consumers to experience the benefits of the kava beverage.
Recognized for its ability to induce relaxation and reduce stress, Kava has become a staple in combating social anxiety and urban stressors. Kavahana aims to elevate its product as a healthier alternative to traditional drinking. The brand boasts an imaginative menu, featuring items like Matcha Kava, Blue Cloud Kava, Saffron Rose, and Brown Sugar Milk Tea.
