A flurry of activity at 261 East 10th Street last week signaled the arrival ofKavasutra, a 10-seat bar serving tea made with kava root, which promises relaxation without the incapacitating properties of alcohol or the mental fuzziness of marijuana. “The kava root is dried, ground and mixed with water. The result is a relaxing and euphoria drink that elevates the senses and has a number of wonderful health benefits,” says the Kavasutra website.
