      Kava may feel subtle at first. Settle in, enjoy the session at an unhurried pace, and ask our team what to expect.

    Traditional Kava

    Served in a shell, with an earthy, peppery, root-forward taste. It may cause a temporary tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth — that's normal. Guests often describe the experience as calm, grounded and social; individual experiences vary.

    K-Tea (kratom tea)

    K-Tea is naturally bitter, so we highly recommend having it flavoured with one of our house-made syrups made with real fruit. Available in Green and White blends; guests commonly choose it for a brighter, more upbeat or focused-feeling experience. Individual experiences vary.

    What Our Guests Say

    "YOU HAVE TO GO HERE! The atmosphere is so chill, the coffee is delicious, the matcha is wonderful, and you get to play games in the AC. You can get it to go in fresh made cans. GO!"

    Jamie Nero

    "A truly beautiful kava bar experience. The space is chic, modern, and thoughtfully designed with an effortlessly cool vibe. The kava itself is incredibly smooth, clean, and clearly high quality. You can really taste the purity. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, making this a relaxing yet elevated place to unwind. A must visit spot in the Bahamas."

    Danielle Collins

    "Chill vibes in a relaxing, modern tea shop in Nassau. Popular with locals and needs more attention from tourists. This place is unlike anything you've ever had before being natural in its ingredients and focused on quality and comfort. Not far from cruise docks you won't find a better more relaxing experience than chilled kava and kratom."
