What is Kava?
Kava, derived from the root of the Piper methysticum plant native to the South Pacific islands, holds a rich cultural significance in many Pacific Island societies. Traditionally consumed in social and ceremonial settings, Kava has gained international attention for its calming and relaxing effects. Preparing Kava involves grinding the root into a powder, which is then mixed with water to create a murky, earthy-tasting beverage. Known for its ability to induce a sense of tranquility and sociability without impairing cognitive function, Kava has found its way into Western markets as an alternative to alcohol or other psychoactive substances.
The active compounds in Kava, called kavalactones, interact with the brain’s neurotransmitter receptors, particularly those involved in regulating mood and anxiety. This results in mild euphoria and muscle relaxation, often accompanied by a numbing sensation on the tongue and lips.
When You Walk In
When you walk into a Kava Bar, you might be surprised how similar it looks to a bar or a coffee shop. Kava bars look like this because they want their patrons to feel comfortable and to spend time there. When you come in, you will order from the bar. If you need help understanding where to start, Kavatenders are trained to accommodate first-time customers, answer questions, and provide information.
Many people will bring work to Kava bars, so do not be surprised to see people on their laptops or working on a hobby. Kava Bars are a place for people to leave the house and enjoy others’ company.
