About Aqua ViTea, LLC
Kombucha, a fermented tea beverage, has grown from a niche health food product to a mainstream beverage category. Aqua ViTea has been at the forefront of this growth, building a regional brand known for quality and authentic fermentation. The company’s focus on local purchasing for their Kombucha, their interest in supporting other Vermont businesses that are preserving Vermont’s working lands, and their ability to create quality jobs are a strong fit with the Flex Fund’s mission.
The Flex Fund invested $300,000 in 2018 to support the company’s expansion, helping them increase production capacity and extend their distribution reach throughout the Northeast. In 2022, the Flex Fund invested an additional $150,000 to support ongoing operations.
“Despite its recent popularity explosion and future potential, Kombucha still can be perplexing to consumers and even savvy investors. Janice and the folks at Flex Fund understood our product and company culture right away and have been both important strategic investors and sage advisers as we navigate our growth plan.”
