Why a to-go pack?
Kava powder in stick packs solves one problem: portability. They're light, shelf-stable, and you can make a drink anywhere there's cold water. They're perfect for flights, hotel rooms, gym bags and the drawer at work.
Leilo Berry Kava Drink Mix
Leilo's stick packs are the easiest kava mix we've found. Tear one open, stir it into 12 to 16 oz of cold water, and you have a berry kava drink in a minute. Each stick lists 1,000 mg of a proprietary kava root extract blend, 5 calories and 0 grams of sugar, sweetened with stevia. Lemon lime is also available.

Stick packs win on portability and price per serving. They lose on experience. A cold, sparkling can just tastes better, and it feels like a drink rather than a supplement. If you're drinking kava at home, at the end of the day, we'd buy cans.
How to make a stick pack taste better
- Use very cold water, or shake it over ice.
- Add a squeeze of lime or a splash of juice.
- Drink it within a few minutes; kava settles if it sits.
