ABOUT

OUR INSPIRATION STEMS FROM OUR

DEEP LOVE OF MUSIC


Our journey began with a deep love for music—the universal language that has the power to connect people from all walks of life. As musicians, we understand the transformative power of music, and we wanted to create a space where this power could be felt and shared. Coupled with our expertise in botanical beverages, especially kava, we envisioned a place where people could socialize, relax, and enjoy high-quality, non-alcoholic drinks in a welcoming environment.

FAQ

  • Kava and Kratom are natural botanical beverages that offer unique benefits and experiences.

    Kava is made from the roots of the kava plant, traditionally used in Pacific Island cultures for its calming and relaxing effects. It is prepared by grinding the dried roots and mixing them with water to create a smooth, earthy drink.

    Kratom, derived from the leaves of a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, can provide stimulating or relaxing effects depending on the strain and dosage. The leaves are dried, crushed, brewed into tea, and finally crafted into one of our specialty cocktails.

    At The Sound Garden Kava, we craft these beverages to provide a unique and enjoyable experience for those new to Kava and Kratom. View our menu here and discover the benefits of these amazing botanicals.
