Kanna is a succulent plant native to South Africa, traditionally used for centuries by Indigenous communities for its calming and mood-brightening qualities. After harvesting and fermentation, its natural alkaloids support a sense of ease, emotional clarity, and gentle uplift. Many people describe kanna as helping them feel more centered, relaxed, and open—often noting a warm increase in feelings of love, empathy, and connection. While experiences vary, kanna is widely appreciated for its subtle ability to elevate mood and deepen one’s sense of presence and relational warmth.

Kava, derived from the roots of a plant native to the South Pacific, has been cherished for generations in island cultures for its calming, grounding, and socially connective qualities. Traditionally prepared as a ceremonial drink, kava is known for easing stress, relaxing the body, and fostering a sense of mellow clarity. Many people describe its effects as gently uplifting—helping to improve mood, soften tension, and naturally increase feelings of connection and ease in social settings. Valued for its serene yet engaging character, kava offers a soothing path to presence, balance, and shared calm.

Born in the laid-back vibes of Laguna Beach, Kamello was created with one goal in mind: to make the calming, mood-lifting benefits of kava and kanna enjoyable for everyone. We set out to craft beverages that look and feel as good as they taste—smooth, flavorful, and effortlessly approachable—so more people can experience these remarkable botanicals without compromise. Kamello is our way of sharing a little more calm, connection, and coastal ease with the world, and looking good while we do it.
