Description:
Not everything on our shelves comes from the hemp plant, and Kats Botanicals Premium Kava Tincture is a good example of why we branch out. This is a concentrated liquid kava extract in an amber glass dropper bottle, made for adults who want a calm, settled evening without lighting anything or chewing anything.
Here’s the thing about kava: it’s a root, not a cannabinoid. People across the Pacific Islands have been preparing it as a traditional drink for generations, and it’s earned a reputation as a social, laid-back way to wind down. The catch has always been the prep work. You grind it, steep it, strain it. It’s a whole ritual, and not everyone has the patience for that on a Tuesday night.
A tincture skips all of that.
Each 1mL serving delivers 50mg of kava extract standardized to 90% kavalactones, which are the compounds kava is known for. That standardization matters. It means you get a consistent, measured serving every time you fill the dropper instead of guessing how strong this batch of root came out. With 30 servings per bottle, one a day gets you through roughly a month.
It sits comfortably in our tinctures and wellness lineup next to the hemp-derived options you already know us for. Same approach, different plant. The servings are measured, the label is honest, and the lab certificate is one you can actually read.
Benefits:
Kava has a loyal following for a reason, and a well-made tincture is one of the easiest ways to find out what the fuss is about. Kats Botanicals keeps the formula simple and the serving size clear, so there’s nothing to decode. Here’s what we like about this one:
- It promotes relaxation. Kava is the classic end-of-day root, and this extract is built for a mellow, unhurried evening.
- The strength is standardized. A 90% kavalactone extract means each 1mL serving is consistent from the first dropper to the last.
- You don’t have to brew anything. Measure, take, done. The dropper does the work that a strainer and a bowl used to do.
- 50mg per serving, 30 servings per bottle. Enough to make it part of a routine without committing to a giant jar of powder.
- It comes in an amber glass bottle, which keeps light off the extract and travels well in a bag or a drawer.
- Third-party tested, with the COA linked below rather than buried somewhere.

What is kava, exactly?
Kava is a plant from the pepper family grown throughout the Pacific Islands, where the root has been prepared as a ceremonial and social drink for a very long time. It’s not cannabis, and it isn’t related to hemp, which is part of why we find it interesting to carry. Think of it as a different tool in the wellness drawer, one that’s been around far longer than the modern tincture bottle it now comes in.
What are kavalactones?
Kavalactones are the naturally occurring compounds in kava root that give it its character. When you see an extract labeled “90% kavalactones,” that’s a measure of concentration: the extract has been standardized so a set amount of those compounds lands in every serving. For this tincture, that works out to 50mg of extract per 1mL. The practical upside is consistency. You know what one serving is, and tomorrow’s serving is the same.
How is a kava tincture different from kava tea or powder?
Traditional kava involves soaking and kneading the root powder in water, then straining out the solids before you drink it. It works, but it takes a while and the strength varies from batch to batch. A tincture is a concentrated liquid extract you measure with a dropper, so you skip the soaking and straining and you aren’t guessing at potency. You can take it as-is or stir it into a drink if you’d rather not taste it straight. Fair warning if you’ve never tried kava: it has a naturally earthy, peppery edge.
Is CannaBuddy legit?
Yes. We’re a real dispensary with storefronts in Charlotte and Matthews, North Carolina, and we ship nationwide where we’re able to. Every product we carry is third-party lab tested, and we post the Certificate of Analysis right on the product page. You’ll find this tincture’s COA linked below. We don’t stock everything under the sun; we pick products from partners we trust and stand behind them. If kava has you curious about what else is on the shelf, browse the full shop and see what fits your evening.
Suggested Use:
One serving is 1mL. If you’re new to kava, treat the first one as a test run and see how you feel before taking more.
- Measure 1mL with the dropper.
- Take it straight, or add it to a glass of water or juice to soften the earthy flavor.
- Give it time to settle in before deciding whether you want another serving. Start low, go slow.
A few things worth knowing before you open the bottle:
- Adult use only, 21+. Not for use by anyone pregnant or nursing.
- Consult a physician before use if you take medication or have a medical condition, including heart disease, high blood pressure, or a liver disorder.
- Do not combine with alcohol.
- Kava may be habit-forming and is not intended for long-term use. Keep it occasional.
- Do not drive or operate machinery after use.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
