What Living Vitalitea, Llc. does

Living Vitalitea, LLC is a Florida-based organic kombucha manufacturer and retailer founded in 2013 by Daniel Koenigkann, operating from a 3,200-square-foot brewery facility in Orlando, Florida. The company produces raw, unpasteurized, organic kombucha using traditional cold-brewing fermentation conducted at approximately 80°F in 160-gallon batches over a three-week cycle, with stated monthly production capacity of 1,200 gallons. Its product portfolio includes nine core kombucha SKUs in 12-pack canned formats (priced at $45-$48 per 12-pack), a Golden Fire wellness shot, and adjacent offerings such as kegs, kegerators (2/3/4-tap), refillable glass growlers, and private label services. The lineup is differentiated by functional ingredient infusions including kava, lion's mane mushroom, turmeric, ginger, and various botanicals targeting relaxation, focus, and immune support.

The company serves two primary customer segments: direct-to-consumer buyers via a Shopify e-commerce storefront with nationwide free shipping and subscription options, and wholesale partners including locally owned health food stores, juice bars, grocery retailers, restaurants, and private label clients across Central Florida. Retail pricing is unit-based at $45-$48 per 12-pack; wholesale pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines DTC e-commerce, a regional wholesale network (100+ accounts), farmers markets, community events, and brewery tours/tastings by appointment. The company holds NMSDC Certified Minority Business Enterprise status (2023) and is entirely founder-owned, with no external institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity disclosed.
