Food and Beverage Experts, CAVU Venture Partners, Invest in Health-Ade to Bring Bubbly Probiotic Tea to the Masses

New Investment Helps Health-Ade Go With Its Gut to Introduce New Audiences to Its Hand-Crafted Brew


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - March 28, 2016) -  Health-Ade, makers of bubbly probiotic teas brewed the way nature intended, today announced a Series B investment from CAVU Venture Partners that will enable the company to scale operations, increase marketing, and expand product distribution without compromising quality. 

"It's clear that people today are looking for healthier products that they can incorporate into their everyday lives," said Rohan Oza, co-founder of CAVU Venture Partners. "Our mission at CAVU is to bridge that gap by identifying amazing, better-for-you brands that millions of people are looking for and ultimately help build them into iconic household names." 

Health-Ade produces its kombucha teas through an all-glass process to ensure no plastic or metal leaching. The tea ferments in small batches of approximately 2.5 gallons to allow for premium control over quality, and it is flavored only with raw cold-pressed juice from organic produce. The company never uses fake fermentation agents, flavorings, or chemicals. Current kombucha flavors are: Original, Pink Lady Apple, Ginger Lemon, Plum, California Grape, Cayenne Cleanse, Beet, Carrot, and Pomegranate. 

"We are thrilled to have CAVU join our initial investor, First Beverage Group, at such an early stage in Health-Ade's lifecycle," said Daina Trout, co-founder of Health-Ade. "Rohan, Clayton, and Brett are well-seasoned in successfully navigating the pathway from an emerging to a national brand. They have a proven track record of identifying the next hot consumer trend, breaking through the "niche product" stereotype, and turning the brands they partner with into household names. Health-Ade is extremely well-positioned for the future."
