What's in the can

## Three plants, three different evenings.

### Kava

Piper methysticum · root · South Pacific How it feels

Relaxed, shoulders-down. The one people reach for to ease into the evening. Don't mix it with alcohol.

### Elixir

Kratom leaf · Mitragyna speciosa · Southeast Asia How it feels

Depends on the color: red for evenings, green for upbeat, white for a coffee-swap lift.

### Kanna

Sceletium tortuosum · succulent · South Africa How it feels

Lighter and more social than kava. Chattier, less body-heavy. Never with antidepressants.
