1. What is Kava?

Kava is a plant from the South Pacific islands. People have used it for years to help them relax and feel calm. They usually grind the kava root and mix it with water to make a drink that tastes a little bit earthy. In places like Fiji, Vanuatu, and Hawaii, kava is part of important ceremonies that bring people together for friendship and spirituality.

2. Meet the Cactus Pear

Cactus pear, also called prickly pear, is the fruit of the Opuntia cactus. It looks cool and is packed with good stuff like vitamins and fiber. The taste is a fun mix of watermelon, kiwi, and bubblegum, making it a great match for kava’s earthy flavor.
