In the bustling world of botanical teas and the serene haven that is Kava Luv, one name stands out – Isabella Garlotta, a vibrant and passionate Kavatender. What led her to this unique realm of relaxation and community-building? Let's dive into Isabella's journey.

A few years ago, a friend introduced Isabella to the world of kava and kratom at a local kava bar. Captivated by the holistic benefits these botanical wonders offered, she never looked back. The discovery marked the beginning of her love affair with these natural remedies.

Isabella's journey brought her to Kava Luv after Hurricane Ian left her without power and Wi-Fi. Seeking refuge and community support, she found both at Kava Luv, leading to a deeper connection with the establishment.

Choosing to work at Kava Luv wasn't just about employment for Isabella; it was about contributing to a community she had grown to cherish. As a Kavatender, she plays a vital role in sharing her knowledge of kava and botanical teas with patrons. Her goal is to create a welcoming space for those on various journeys, whether it's towards sobriety or simply finding a cool place to connect with others.

Isabella's favorite drinks, like the Liquid Sunshine and Bird of Paradise, reflect her penchant for fruity and tropical flavors. She finds joy in the diverse events at Kava Luv, particularly Wellness Wednesdays, where local businesses showcase wellness products and services. The holiday festivities, like Christmas, hold a special place in her heart, as Kava Luv feels like a second family.

When asked about her preference between kava and botanical teas, Isabella admits the robust taste of kava isn't her first choice. Instead, she gravitates towards the floral and versatile Damiana, appreciating its unique flavor profile that complements various drinks.

Isabella's personal experience with kava and botanical teas aligns with relaxation and sociability. As someone prone to anxiety, she finds solace and calmness in her favorite botanical tea, making her more open and social in the process.

In her free time, Isabella frequents Kava Luv to connect with friends, engage in card games, and participate in club activities. Beyond the kava haven, she indulges her love for music and art, playing guitar and exploring her artistic side through painting.

As a Kavatender, Isabella's favorite part of the job lies in creating a welcoming atmosphere and building connections with patrons. Her role goes beyond serving drinks; it's about fostering a sense of community. So come by Kava Luv and Meet our new employee Isabella! Keep the Luv alive!
