Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our botanical offerings
What is kava and is it legal?
Kava is a traditional Pacific Island root (Piper methysticum) that has been consumed ceremonially for over 3,000 years. It's completely legal in California and throughout the United States. Kava promotes relaxation, social connection, and calm without intoxication or impairment. Our kava is noble variety from Vanuatu, the highest quality available. Effects are typically felt within 20-40 minutes and last 2-4 hours.
How will kava make me feel?
Kava produces a gentle sense of physical relaxation and mental calm. Most people describe feeling socially at ease, conversational, and pleasantly relaxed without drowsiness or mental fog. Your body may feel slightly heavy or warm, and some experience a mild tingling sensation on the tongue. You'll remain clear-headed and in control. Think of it as the opposite of coffee - instead of ramping you up, kava helps you unwind.
What are functional mushrooms and are they psychoactive?
Functional mushrooms like lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps, and chaga are non-psychoactive, legal adaptogenic mushrooms used for centuries in traditional medicine. They contain zero psilocybin and will not produce any "high" or altered state. Instead, they support cognitive function (lion's mane), stress resilience (reishi), natural energy (cordyceps), and immune health (chaga). All our mushrooms are certified organic and third-party tested for purity.
What is blue lotus and what does it feel like?
Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is an ancient Egyptian water lily used in traditional ceremonies for over 3,000 years. It's completely legal and food-safe in the United States. Blue lotus produces a gentle sense of euphoria, tranquil awareness, and creative openness. Many describe feeling dreamy, calm, and present. It's mild, pleasant, and perfect for relaxation without sedation. Effects typically last 2-3 hours.
Are your botanical drinks safe? Any contraindications?
Yes, all our Botanical Bar ingredients are legal, food-safe, and have been used traditionally for centuries. However, we recommend consulting with your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications (especially anti-anxiety medications, blood thinners, or antidepressants). We recommend a maximum of 2 kava servings per visit. Never mix kava with alcohol. Kava should not be consumed by those with liver conditions. Please inform your server of any health conditions.
Can I drink kava and alcohol together?
No, we strongly advise against mixing kava with alcohol. Both substances affect the liver, and combining them can increase the load on your liver and intensify sedative effects. We recommend enjoying your kava experience separately from alcohol. Our staff will not serve alcohol to guests who have consumed kava, and vice versa, for your safety.
Which drink should I try first as a beginner?
For relaxation: Start with Chamomile Lavender Calm (mildest) or Blue Lotus Elixir (gentle euphoria). For focus: Try Lion's Mane Focus or Matcha Energy. For energy: Yerba Mate Awakening is bright and uplifting. For kava beginners: The Kava Colada is tropical and smooth. Our staff is trained to guide you based on your desired experience - just let us know if you want to relax, focus, energize, or explore!
Will these drinks show up on a drug test?
No. Kava, blue lotus, functional mushrooms, damiana, and all our botanical ingredients are legal and will not cause you to fail a standard drug test. They do not contain THC, psilocybin, or any controlled substances. However, if you have concerns about specific workplace testing, consult your HR department or the testing company.
