Kava only vs. kava plus kratom
Kava is the one people drink to unwind. Adding kratom changes the feel; people describe it as more upbeat and talkative. If you've never tried either plant, start with one at a time so you know what each does. Kava vs. kratom vs. kanna.
Flavors
Leilo's fruit flavors are lightly sweetened with cane sugar and stevia, and its sugar-free mocktail flavors (margarita, piña colada, Moscow mule) are named after bar drinks. New Brew sticks to fruit flavors with tea in the base.
Which to buy
- New to all of this, or kava only: Leilo.

Try them separately
