Botanical Brewing Co. (BBCo) makes canned kava, elixirs and kanna in Cape Coral, Florida. There are ten drinks in the lineup, and the easiest way to choose is by how you want to feel: kava to unwind, an elixir by color, kanna to be social.
Which one to try first
| If you want to… | Try | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Unwind after work | Kava Orange Dream, or Red Elixir Blueberry Lemonade | from $36 |
| Be social | Kanna Pomegranate Fusion, or Green Elixir Tiki Apple | from $30.60 |
| Feel bright, skip the coffee | White Elixir Island Breeze | from $36 |
| Try everything | Kava or Elixir Variety 12-Pack | $102 |
| Go stronger (regulars) | Kava Sucker Punch, or Green Cat 5 Elixir | from $56 |
The full lineup
- Kava: Orange Dream, Tutti Frutti, and the double-strength Sucker Punch. What is kava?
- Elixirs: brewed from crushed kratom leaf in three colors: Red Blueberry Lemonade (evening), Green Tiki Apple (upbeat) and White Island Breeze (bright), plus the double-strength Green Cat 5 blend. What the colors mean.
- Kanna: Pomegranate Fusion, the social one. What is kanna?
- Variety packs: a kava box and an elixir box, 12 cans each.
Most cans come in 4, 12 and 24 packs.
What makes them different
- Three plants in one shop. Most brands do kava or kratom. BBCo does both, plus kanna.
- Leaf-brewed elixirs. Made from crushed leaf, not the concentrated extracts in most kratom seltzers. How they compare.
- Pick by color. Red, green and white are separate cans, so you can choose for the time of day.
- Fruit-forward flavors. Built to taste good, with the earthy or bitter notes in the background.
Good to know
A 4-pack runs about $9 a can and the variety boxes about $8.50, so most people treat them as an evening drink rather than an all-day one. If you're new, a variety pack is the best value way to find your favorite.
