Hi, I’m Matt Warren, co-founder of Psychedelic Water. My first time trying kava was amazing. At a small get-together with friends, someone introduced us to this earthy, peppery drink. The calm and connection we felt were unmatched—a wonderful hidden gem that I couldn’t wait to share.
What is Kava?
Kava, also known as Piper methysticum, is a plant from the Pacific Islands. People there use its root to make a drink that relaxes you. For many, many years, kava has been important in social ceremonies and gatherings in places like Fiji, Vanuatu, and Tonga.
People drink kava to help reduce anxiety, relax, and socialize more easily. It’s a great natural way to deal with modern life’s stresses. Unlike alcohol, kava helps you relax without making you fuzzy-minded; your thoughts stay clear and calm.
