First Shell?

New to kava? Start here.

Everyone was new once. Our kavatenders will walk you through your first shell — no pressure, no judgment.

  1. 01

    The root

    Kava comes from the root of Piper methysticum, shared for centuries across the Pacific islands as a drink of peace and connection.

  2. 02

    The feeling

    Expect calm, relaxed muscles and an easy, social mood — with a clear head. A slight numb tingle on the lips is normal.

  3. 03

    Reverse tolerance

    Many people feel little on their first visit. Kava often works better with regular sessions — give it a few tries.

  4. 04

    Your kavatender

    Tell us it's your first time. We'll suggest a starting shell, a chaser, and pace you right.

Bring the crew

Plan a group night with us.

Birthdays, pool table showdowns, team nights or study sessions — tell us what you're planning and we'll help make it a good one.
