NOVA's functional beverage lineup is purpose-built. Each flavor does something specific, uses clearly labeled ingredients, and comes in at a price point that makes variety packs an easy decision. Here's what you need to know about each one.

Flavor Breakdown: Tasting Notes and What's Inside

Cherry Cola — The THC + Caffeine Option

Cherry Cola ($7.99) is a carbonated hemp-infused drink that combines familiar soda flavor with a functional cannabinoid profile. It contains 5mg THC and 125mg CBD at a 25:1 ratio, plus 30mg of caffeine sourced from guayusa extract.

Tasting notes: Sweet, slightly tart, with the deep cherry and cola notes you'd expect—without being overly sugary. Cane sugar and blue agave nectar provide the sweetness, while phosphoric acid gives it the right amount of bite. Pink Himalayan salt rounds out the finish.

Sunflower lecithin and MCT oil derived from coconut are included specifically to improve absorption of the hemp oil. It's a deliberate formulation, not just flavor layered on top of cannabinoids.

Passionfruit Mosaic — The Uplift Option

Passionfruit Mosaic ($5.25) contains zero THC and zero CBD. It's a functional mushroom beverage formulated with 650mg of Lion's Mane, 400mg of Cordyceps, and 50mg of caffeine from guayusa extract. At 17 calories per 12 fl oz can, it's one of the lightest options in the lineup.

Tasting notes: Tropical and bright, with the tartness of real passionfruit and a clean finish from mosaic hops extract. It's refreshing without being sweet-heavy. The carbonation is crisp, making it an easy substitution for sparkling water or a light social drink.

This one is built for cognitive support and physical energy. Lion's Mane is associated with focus; Cordyceps with stamina. If you want a functional lift without any cannabinoids, this is the straightforward pick.

Peach Blue Dream — The Calm Option

Peach Blue Dream ($5.25) is formulated around relaxation. It contains 650mg of Reishi Mushroom and 150mg of L-Theanine—two compounds commonly used for stress support and mental ease.

Tasting notes: Soft, ripe peach flavor with a slightly earthy undertone that reflects the Reishi base. Smooth carbonation, not aggressive. It finishes cleanly and doesn't have the sharpness of citrus-forward drinks.

Reishi is often called an adaptogen, used to support stress response. L-Theanine, found naturally in green tea, promotes calm alertness—without sedation. This is the wind-down flavor.

How to Match a NOVA Flavor to Your Mood

Not sure which one to grab? Use this as a quick guide:

  • Need to focus and get through a long afternoon? Passionfruit Mosaic. The Lion's Mane and Cordyceps combination with 50mg guayusa caffeine is built for sustained cognitive output.
  • Want a social drink with a mild THC effect and a light caffeine kick? Cherry Cola. The 5mg THC / 125mg CBD ratio keeps things balanced, and 30mg caffeine adds energy without overstimulation.
  • Winding down after work or looking to take the edge off without alcohol? Peach Blue Dream. Reishi and L-Theanine together create a calm, collected feeling without putting you to sleep.

How to Build a NOVA Variety Pack

Each flavor is available as a single or in a 4-pack. To build your own variety, order one 4-pack of Cherry Cola and individual singles of Passionfruit Mosaic and Peach Blue Dream—or mix singles across all three to sample before committing to a full pack.

A practical starting order: one Cherry Cola 4-pack ($7.99/can), one Passionfruit Mosaic single ($5.25), one Peach Blue Dream single ($5.25). That covers all three effect profiles and gives you enough Cherry Cola to assess how the THC and caffeine combination works for you.

All three flavors are in stock and available to ship, with pickup also available at NOVA's Middletown and Warrenton, Virginia locations.
