Where it comes from
Straight from the source.
Our kava is noble kava from Vanuatu and the wider South Pacific — the traditional, well-balanced cultivars grown for daily drinking, prepared the way they have been for centuries. Our kratom is leaf sourced from Indonesia, where the climate and soil grow some of the most consistent leaf in the world.
We buy from suppliers who test, document, and stand behind what they sell — then we hold it to our own bar before it ever reaches yours.

EverythingWhat we check
Tested, not trusted blindly.
Every botanical that crosses the bar is third-party lab-tested. Here's what those tests look for.
| The test | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Alkaloid / kavalactone content | Confirms potency and consistency, batch to batch. |
| Heavy metals | Screens for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. |
| Microbials | Checks for salmonella, E. coli, yeast and mold. |
| Adulterants | Verifies it's pure leaf and root — no isolates or synthetics. |
