What is kava, exactly?
Kava is a root from the South Pacific that’s been enjoyed socially for generations. Traditionally prepared as a drink and shared with others, it’s known for its relaxing qualities and the way it can help you feel calm, clear-headed and socially at ease.
At Melo, we use premium noble kava and turn it into something a little easier to enjoy: a delicious, refreshing sparkling drink made for modern life.
Kavalactones, the compounds in kava root, interact with GABA receptors associated with relaxation.

The questions everyone asks.
What does kava feel like?
Physical tension eases off first. Your head stays clear, so you can still drive the conversation and remember the night. It is not the same as being drunk and it is not the same as being sleepy.
How fast does kava work?
Most people notice something inside ten minutes of finishing one can. It arrives quickly rather than creeping up on you, and how much you feel depends on the person.
Is kava legal in the US?
Yes. Kava is sold legally across the United States as a dietary ingredient. A few countries regulate it differently, so check locally if you're travelling with it.
Where does your kava come from?
The South Pacific. We use noble kava, the traditional cultivar, and every batch is third-party lab tested before it's canned in California.
What does Melo taste like?
Like the fruit on the can, not like the earthy kava you may have been warned about. Sparkling, zero sugar, zero calories. Banana Cream, Tahitian Lime and Passionfruit Orange Guava.
Who shouldn't drink it?
Not for anyone under 18, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not combine it with alcohol, and don't drive or operate machinery after drinking. Ask a healthcare professional before use if you take any medication.
