"As the drink took effect I relaxed and enjoyed the tiki style carvings, the ornate wooden spears and low lighting of the establishment from a comfortable chair, soaking it all in. The bar’s atmosphere was miles away from that of a pub. Upbeat alternative and reggae music played at a low enough volume to facilitate conversation and acted as a sonic backdrop to the scene. The bar space was filled with patrons as were the booths. A giant Jenga block game was also available."

Not to brag or anything but every time the Fijian Government comes to California, they drive hundreds of miles to come to the Root of Happiness to drink Kava.  No big deal.

The Acting Permanent Secretary for Agriculture -Uraia Waibuta along with his delegation of other Fijian ministers and PHAMA came to visit our bar.

"Mr Waibuta said that one of their highlights was the visit to a modernized Kava Bar in Sacramento called the ‘Root of Happiness Kava Bar’.

“This is Northern California’s first Kava bar which opened its doors in March 2013 and has been frequented by the diverse American consumers.

“We have witnessed this very modernized set up of a Kava Bar. It has redefined the kava bar as we know it in Fiji. It is designed to target the American customers and its expanding market. Even more surprising was that the owner, Mr Tyler Blythe said 90 percent of his customers were Russians who were interested in the serene atmosphere and more importantly the soothing effect of kava drinks,” he said.

Mr Waibuta said that “to our amazement when walking in to meet the owner we noted the bar was already half full with customers drinking the various kinds of Kava beverages served.”

Mr Blythe who is the head of the American Kava Association said that all Kava entering the United States will need to be cleared by the Food & Drugs Administration (FDA), analyzed of its chemical compositions, especially the Kavalactone level, to ensure that products served to the customers are safe for consumption and meet customer satisfaction.

From the Article:

Root of Happiness Kava Bar, another shop in Davis that serves an unconventional form of tea, bases its entire menu on a particular kind of “tea” made from steeping kava root in water. Ava Taesali, assistant manager of the bar, explained the intricacies of kava and its benefits as a tea.

“The kava plant comes from the South Pacific Islands, such as Hawaii, Fiji and Samoa, and has a lot of natural anti-anxiety and relaxation properties to help soothe the brain and muscles,” Taesali said. “There’s a lot of benefits to drinking kava but mainly it is just going to make you feel really happy and good without any fogginess in the head.” 

Pacific island cultures have been consuming kava for over 3,000 years because of its positive effect on the mind and spirit. After drinking kava, people can expect to instantly feel relaxed not only in the body but also in the mind, as well as ready to socialize with anyone they meet.

Whether students are looking to relax after a long day of classes or simply change up their daily routine, Temple and Root of Happiness are leaders in providing nontoxic, exotic and sustainably grown teas to help students achieve this.
