Meet the plant-powered root
What is kava?
It's the ingredient behind Groovy's relaxed, social kind of buzz — a plant with centuries of history and zero alcohol.

Kava is a shrub native to the Pacific Islands. Its Latin name, Piper methysticum, roughly means "pepper of the Pacific" — and there's no alcohol in it anywhere.
For centuries, Pacific communities have ground the plant's root, mixed it with water and shared it at gatherings where everyone drinks together, from the host to the last guest to arrive.
That tradition is the heart of Groovy: a drink that relaxes you while keeping the conversation going.
How it feels.
Kava's natural compounds, called kavalactones, work with your body to ease tension without dulling your mind. The feeling builds gently, stays friendly and fades without a trace the next morning.

Will kava get me drunk?

Yes. Every can is made with real kava root, paired with functional ingredients, and lab tested for quality.
