What Javo Beverage does

Javo Beverage, now operating as Vibrant Beverage, is a U.S. foodservice beverage manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Vista, California, with operations spanning the United States. The company manufactures and supplies cold brew coffee, cold brew espresso, iced lattes, frappes (frozen coffee), iced tea, functional beverages (including energy lemonade), hot coffee and mix-ins/powders to foodservice operators. Its customer base spans large national restaurant chains, independent restaurants, convenience stores, hospitals and recreational venues such as stadiums and arenas.

The company's underlying technology centers on cold brew coffee extraction and tea extraction/essence know-how, executed by self-described 'Master Extractors', combined with access (via parent Vibrant Ingredients) to natural flavors, botanical/fruit/vegetable ingredients, functional nutrition inputs and food protection and preservation technologies. Manufacturing is performed at two U.S. facilities built with duplicative capability to ensure continuity and scalability for national chain partners.

Vibrant Beverage generates revenue through a B2B transaction-fee model, quoting foodservice operators directly for extracts, ready-to-drink packaged products, private label manufacturing and toll extraction services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a brand under Vibrant Ingredients, a strategic operating parent, and no venture capital, private equity or public-market ownership signals were identified in the available data. A 2020-10 event involving Everberg Capital is recorded with a disclosed amount of $0, of unclear interpretation.
