By: Logan Pierce – SeaPRwire – A single kava tonic cannot cover every moment of the day. Consumers want calm after work, focus in the afternoon and sleep at night. Botanic Tonics is answering with a new noble-kava shot and two mix-in sticks. The formats land at NACS this week. Nationwide shelves open in 2027. That timeline is the real test.
On 5 October 2026 in Las Vegas the company announced feel free Kava, a noble-kava tonic shot designed for personalisation. It will debut alongside two functional stick packs—feel free Focused Energy and feel free Sleep—at the 2026 NACS Show from 7 to 9 October at the Las Vegas Convention Center. National launch begins in 2027. The new items join the existing line: flagship feel free CLASSIC, feel free KavaMaté and feel free capsules. All products contain no synthetic active ingredients and no chemical extracts. Noble kava root has been used ceremonially in Pacific Island cultures for more than three thousand years and is associated with calm, relaxation and social connection. The company states that interest in mood-enhancement supplements is growing and that consumers are asking for more ways to bring kava into different occasions. feel free Kava uses the same noble kava root found in KavaMaté. Users can pair the tonic with a stick pack to match the benefit they need. Focused Energy contains lion’s mane, L-theanine and green-tea caffeine. Sleep contains magnesium bisglycinate, ashwagandha and tart cherry. Botanic Tonics controls a vertically integrated supply chain that begins in Vanuatu and ends at an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in Oklahoma. CEO Cameron Korehbandi said kava sits at the centre of the company’s work and that the new formats give consumers more ways to enjoy noble kava root and personalise the experience. He cited the brand’s position as the number-one best-selling kava brand in the United States and pointed to experience in sourcing, formulating and manufacturing as the reason for consistent quality. Attendees can preview the products at booth C3880. All feel free items are manufactured in the United States at an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified and Kosher-certified facility and undergo multiple quality and safety tests. The company continues to emphasise consumer education and transparency. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Botanic Tonics reports hundreds of millions of servings sold of its flagship CLASSIC product, which combines noble kava root and natural kratom leaf and is intended for responsible adult use only.
The commercial filter is retail placement after the show. Watch which of the two stick packs appears first on national planograms in early 2027. Watch whether the new tonic shot earns permanent shelf space beside CLASSIC or is treated as a limited add-on. Those two decisions will show whether the occasion-based strategy expands the brand or merely multiplies SKUs.
