A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia.No task is too big when done together.
Your brand. Our ‘awa. End to end.
We formulate, source, produce, test, label and ship kava products under your name — from one SKU to a full line. You own the brand and the customer. We handle everything behind it.
Built for
Kava bars putting their house name on the shelf
Your regulars already drink it in your room. Sell them the jar to take home.
Wellness and supplement brands adding kava
You have the audience and the channel. You do not need a facility.
Distributors building an exclusive line
A product nobody else can quote against you on.
Retail groups going private label
Your margin, your shelf, your name.
Founders launching a kava brand
Start with a real product instead of six months of sourcing.
What keeps you out of trouble
| Facility | Our own extraction facility in Pahoa, Hawai‘i Island |
|---|---|
| Testing | We lab test our kava for identity and kavalactones, heavy metals and microbial safety, so what we produce is the best quality we can make |
| COA in your name | Per lot, for your buyers |
| Lot traceability | Raw material through finished unit |
| Label review | Against FDA regulations before print — we will tell you if your marketing copy would get you a letter |
| Documentation | If required, we provide a copy of the latest lab test results |
| Insurance | Shipments can be insured if required |
What “end to end” actually means
Nine stages. Here is who does what at each one.
The honest division of labour
- Your brand and your name
- Your customer and your channel
- Label artwork (or use our designer)
- A purchase order
- Your price and your margin
- Formulation and R&D
- Raw material sourcing and vetting
- Production capacity
- Independent lab testing and COAs
- Labeling compliance review
- Packaging and retail-ready units
- Fulfillment, bulk or dropship
- Your formula held on file for reruns
Three ways to start
Stock formula, your label
Our proven formula, your artwork.
Right for: Testing a market, adding a SKU, launching without R&D.
Modified formula
Start from a proven base, with options in strength, format and flavour.
Right for: A brand with a point of view but no need to start from zero.
Custom formulation
Your spec, developed with you from raw material up. A custom formulation may incur a development fee, depending on the size of the order.
Right for: A line you intend to own and defend.
Formats and customization
