Hey everyone,
I posted this on the kava subreddit and someone suggested talking about it here:
I'm in the final stages of starting a small business selling carbonated, bottled kava. Put in 12oz bottles, basically it'd be just like a beer but kava instead. My focus is in-store sales, but I'm checking consumer interest on how viable throwing stock up on amazon would be.
Quick description: literally CO2 and kava. The carbonation cuts a lot of the gross taste out, leaving a pleasant, earthy bubbly flavor. The great thing about doing it this way instead of trying to add juices or etc is you still retain the taste of kava, it's just sans the harsh aftertaste. This both retains the connective, naturalistic, "hippie" element we all love, but takes away that almost vodka-esque headshake after a big chug.
Interested? Unfortunately the only real way it'd be viable for me online would be to sell it on amazon, $20 for a six pack with $10 shipping. Going by the standard 4oz = 1 shell measure, that equates to a little over 3 bucks for a triple shell (1 bottle). This is obviously a push into the high end. Perhaps later I can reduce pricing via sales volume.
Anyway, just wanted to post here to see if anyone was interested or had any thoughts. Here's a link to a short vid of me showing it/talking about it:
