What is Ceremonial Kava Seltzer?

Ceremonial Kava Seltzer is a ready-to-drink sparkling beverage made with kava, the root of Piper methysticum. It pairs traditional kava with sparkling water and fruit flavor, giving you the Pacific Islander root in a chilled, crack-the-can format: no grinding, kneading, or straining required.

The kava tradition

Kava is a plant in the pepper family native to the Pacific Islands, where the root has been prepared as a ceremonial and social beverage for centuries across Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, and many other island nations. Traditional preparation involves working the ground root in water and straining it; the seltzer format is the modern, alcohol-free descendant of that social-drinking tradition. If you want the traditional preparation instead, our kava page carries noble root powders and instant kava.

Why a seltzer?

Across the Pacific, kava has always been a social drink, shared in gatherings rather than taken alone. The seltzer carries that idea into a modern, alcohol-free format: something to bring to a get-together or keep in the fridge that is not beer, wine, or soda. It is the lowest-effort way to try kava, since traditional preparation from ground root takes equipment and time.

Flavors

The seltzer comes in three flavors: Ginger Lime, with a bright citrus bite; Pineapple Coconut, the most tropical of the three; and Mango Orange, where lush mango meets juicy orange. All three are alcohol-free.
