Botanic Tonics' KavaMaté Builds on Retail Momentum, Accelerates Nationwide Rollout, and Announces New SKU for 2027

LAS VEGAS, NV, October 7, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Botanic Tonics, the leader in kava-centric botanical supplements, today announced an accelerated nationwide rollout of KavaMaté™, its groundbreaking clean energy botanical formula of noble kava root and yerba mate, following rapid success in convenience retail. Building on that momentum, Botanic Tonics will introduce a new KavaMaté SKU with 50% more caffeine from plants in 2027, continuing its innovation in the traditional energy space.

Since expanding to select retailers earlier this year, KavaMaté's remarkable retail momentum reflects growing consumer interest in clean energy offerings. KavaMaté delivers sustained, grounded energy without the crashes and jitters associated with traditional caffeine and energy products.

Bringing Kava to Traditional Energy

"Driving growth in convenience means giving consumers a compelling reason to try something new. With KavaMaté, we're disrupting traditional energy by pairing noble kava root with plant-derived caffeine to deliver a distinct, grounded energy experience," said Cameron Korehbandi, CEO of Botanic Tonics. "Kava is at the center of everything we do, and we see significant opportunity for this botanical in the energy category. We're building on KavaMaté's retail momentum with new products and formats that give consumers what they didn't think was possible: novel botanical pairings that deliver function you can feel."

Consumers Asked, KavaMaté Delivered: More Botanical Energy

In response to consumer feedback, Botanic Tonics will introduce a new KavaMaté SKU with 50% more caffeine from plants in 2027. The new offering will continue to pair noble kava root and yerba mate and deliver the same sustained, grounded energy that has made KavaMaté a favorite with both consumers and retailers.

Two Botanical Traditions, One Distinct Energy Experience

KavaMaté brings together two revered botanicals with deep cultural roots that have been trusted for centuries. Noble kava root, ceremonially cherished throughout Pacific Island cultures for more than 3,000 years, provides mental clarity while maintaining calm. Yerba mate, valued by Indigenous South American communities for centuries, delivers natural sustained energy. Together, they create grounded energy: a balanced state of alert calm, ideal for transforming ordinary moments.

KavaMaté blends the natural energy of yerba mate with the calm focus of noble kava root, creating an energy experience greater than the sum of its parts. This innovative pairing delivers sustained, grounded energy without the crashes and jitters associated with conventional caffeine products, designed specifically to meet the moments that call for presence and purpose, from an early morning workout to the afternoon work slump.

KavaMaté joins feel free CLASSIC®, Botanic Tonics' flagship tonic, in the company's growing convenience retail presence. Both products are made in the United States at an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility and undergo testing for consistency and quality.
