Alive and Well Kombucha

Alive & Well Kombucha is a functional beverage brand specializing in small-batch, brewer-crafted kombucha designed to be more approachable, balanced, and less acidic than traditional kombucha. Founded in May 2023 by Trevor and Shyler Landry, the brand was born from a unique intersection of expertise: Shyler holds a Master of Science in Integrative and Functional Nutrition from Saybrook University and has a personal history managing Celiac Disease through dietary wellness, while Trevor brings over 15 years of hospitality management, mixology, and beverage brand development experience. Together, they set out to create a kombucha that appeals to both seasoned kombucha drinkers and first-time consumers who may have been put off by the sharp, vinegary profiles of conventional offerings.

The company produces kombucha in digitally printed cans, positioning the product as a grown-up functional beverage suitable for a wide range of consumption occasions including restaurants, sporting venues, concerts, spas, and hotels. Alive & Well Kombucha is explicitly designed as a non-alcoholic alternative to beer, cocktails, and soda, targeting the one-third of Americans who do not consume alcohol as well as those participating in the growing sober-curious and wellness movements.

The product lineup is organized into two signature flavor lines: The Gardener and The Carpenter. The Gardener line features light, floral, and calming flavor profiles using botanical flowers known to support nervous system relaxation, with moderate effervescence and gentle sweetness. Highlighted SKUs include Lavender & Blue Mallow (the brand's best seller), Rose Petal & Lychee, and Passionflower & Aloe. The Carpenter line features earthy, woody, and smoky profiles inspired by the influence of trees such as palo santo, birch, cedar, and oak, offering a more subdued effervescence reminiscent of barrel-aged spirits. Notable SKUs include Oak & Coconut with Shilajit. Both lines are nutritionist-designed for gut health, brain health, immune support, and anxiety relief, and are also crafted to serve as cocktail mixers or standalone alcohol substitutes.

Alive & Well Kombucha emphasizes the use of authentic botanical ingredients and functional additives, including adaptogens and botanicals with documented wellness benefits. The brand markets itself toward health-conscious consumers, functional beverage enthusiasts, and individuals seeking sophisticated non-alcoholic options. With softer bubbles and a smoother taste profile, the company is actively working to expand the overall kombucha category by converting skeptics and attracting new consumers who may not have enjoyed kombucha previously.
