All of us—whether we drink or don’t, whether we’re healing or just tired—need a good wind-down. A soft landing. A small ceremony that reminds us: you’ve made it through the day. That’s what this drink was made for.

We’re a new category: Botanical Mood Drinks. We’re rooted in real herbal tea formulations—not just flavor, but function. We use nervines, adaptogens, and kava to create a felt shift in mood—grounded, social, relaxed, lifted—depending on the blend.

The way we use it—in tiny amounts per can—creates a subtle body shift. Think: gentle calm, slight loosening of tension, and a sense of presence. It’s more felt than tasted. And that's the point. We're not trying to make you high. We're trying to help you arrive.

My relationship with alcohol was long and layered. It wasn’t dramatic, but it was deep. A soft-edged dependency that slowly eroded the parts of me I liked best. It started as a tool, became a crutch, and then a kind of fog I couldn’t quite step out of. Eventually I realized I was dimming something essential—and I wanted that light back.

If you're in Portland, you can now taste the entire Still/Spark lineup the way it was meant to be felt— in sequence, in a glass, in community. We’re now offering flights at ENSO: five mood-driven pours, each its own world. And when tasted together, something like a guided journey through the best parts of being human.

Each Still/Spark blend begins with a feeling—an emotional frequency we want you to be able to drink. Bright Calm? That’s our softest piano line. Golden Hour? A glowing chorus with a pulse. Soft Bloom? A slow, grounding hum that lingers.

It’s not alcohol. It’s not caffeine. It’s not sugar pretending to be energy. It’s plants—real herbs with real function. Blended with purpose to create a shift you can actually feel.

Every Still/Spark formula starts with herbal blends that have been used for centuries to support mood, energy, calm, and clarity. We don’t use lab-made “feel-good” additives. We don’t spike our drinks with synthetic nootropics or caffeine-alternatives with side effects.

You know it when you’re in it: that soft stretch of time just before sunset when everything glows. The light is low, but not yet gone. The air is warm, but the edge has cooled. And for a little while, the world just feels… better. Easier. Softer. Lit from within. We made Golden Hour for that.

Each Still/Spark blend started as a functional tea. Not an afterthought. Not part of a trend. These herbs have been used for centuries to support mood, energy, calm, and focus. They’re already good for you—deeply, physiologically good.

So if the first taste brings a smile, the second one might bring something deeper: a sense that you can meet the moment just a little softer. A little clearer.

When we made Bright Calm, we knew exactly what we were reaching for: a glass of calm you could feel—not heavy, not sleepy, just a soft settling into yourself. The kind of feeling you chase when you want the world to slow down, but not slip away.

Hemp and cannabis-based drinks are growing in popularity, offering a range of experiences—from light relaxation to a noticeable buzz. At Still/Spark, we celebrate the idea that people should have options for how they want to feel. Our approach just happens to be a little different.

We’re live. Or more accurately—on tap. Our first two botanical blends—Bright Calm and Wild Muse—are now pouring at ENSO Winery in Portland, OR.

At Still/Spark, we make botanical mood beverages—drinks designed not just to taste great, but to actually do something. We source organic herbs, cold-pressed juice concentrates, and mineral-rich extractions that layer flavor with function.

Still/Spark is made to shift your state—and support your system. Each blend was created by a winemaker and flavor artist, someone fluent not just in taste, but in how taste feels. And each blend starts with whole herbs, real juice, and simple syrup—no lab extracts, no synthetics, no filler. Just botanicals that actually do something

When we slow down, the body listens. Cortisol softens. The breath returns to baseline. Our thoughts unclench their fists. And suddenly, things don’t feel so overwhelming.

This isn’t marketing fluff. It’s muscle memory. Years of blending wine, tasting with chefs, pairing with strangers across a bar—it all lives in these cans. This is my provenance. Not just a winemaker. A feel-maker.

You’re the drink I didn’t know I was waiting for.
Not to take the edge off—
but to reveal the edge is beautiful…

This isn’t about restriction—it’s about liberation. From sugar, from hangovers, from routines that no longer serve.
