Methodology

How HappyKava keeps the price index honest.

01

How much does kava cost in United States?

HappyKava currently sees a median listed kava item/size price of $10.00 in United States, from 228 priced public menu items. This combines different serving sizes and is not the price of a standard shell.

02

Where does this price data come from?

The Kava Price Index uses public structured menu data published through HappyKava. It does not estimate prices from reviews, photos, or third-party listings.

03

How are prices compared?

Only clearly identified kava menu items are included. Food, non-kava drinks, add-ons, sold-out items, and ambiguous listings are excluded. Each priced serving size is one observation; bars with larger menus can contribute more observations. Shells, flights, and bulk purchases are grouped separately. A listed price is not a potency-adjusted comparison.

04

How representative is this sample?

This snapshot includes 228 eligible item/size prices from 24 contributing bars, within a scan of 100 listings. It is a sample of HappyKava menus, not a census of all kava bars. Snapshot time records when the calculation ran, not when an owner verified each price. Confirm current prices with the bar.

05

How can an incorrect price be corrected?

Open the source bar profile and check its menu and official website. Bar owners can claim their listing and update the published menu. Corrections are reflected when the public price snapshot next refreshes.

06

Why might a kava bar be missing?

Bars only count when they publish structured menu prices that HappyKava can read safely. Bars with image-only or external menus may appear in the directory without contributing to price summaries.
