Can I sell Kava in my retail location, taproom, or restaurant?

Yes! Our product excels in non-alcoholic section of your store or menu, perfectly complementing the non-alcoholic beer offerings. Although it does not legally require regulation, we recommend it for adults aged 18 and over, targeting our core demographic. Nevertheless, placement varies as many stores opt to include it in their grab-and-go coolers alongside other beverages. Ultimately, the placement depends on the store’s preference and whether they sell alcohol. 

Some retailers choose to card 18+ at purchase — we’ve seen strong success with this approach, and it has not impacted product velocity.

Taha is designed for adults who want to unwind, connect, and enjoy a social experience — without the alcohol.
