In 1995, GT’s Living Foods revolutionized how people perceived living, fermented foods when we brought the first-ever bottled kombucha to U.S. shelves. Fast forward to today, and the living foods and gut health conversation we began has transformed into a global movement. We’re proud to remain an independent, family owned and operated company that has never wavered in our belief that nutritious foods have the power to change the world. Over the past thirty years we have created living foods that are authentically and expertly fueled by plants, raw fermentation, naturally occurring probiotics, and ancient wisdom, including our beloved SYNERGY® Raw Kombucha, energizing ALIVE Ancient Mushroom Elixir, nondairy COCOYO Living Coconut Yogurt, refreshing AGUA De KEFIR Cultured Hydration and our latest innovation, AURA Collagen Tea. If you believe in the power of living foods, love a good kombucha and want to join our movement to help people live healthier, happier lives, please explore our career opportunities at gtslivingfoods.com.

The Lifeway Foods story began in 1986 with kefir, a dairy-based fermented drink loaded with protein, probiotics, and a deep connection to many cultures, especially those from the Caucasus region. That year, Michael Smolyansky, a refugee from the former USSR, began manufacturing kefir in his basement to bring the taste of his homeland to the U.S. After Michael passed away in 2002, his daughter Julie Smolyansky assumed the role of President and CEO. Today, Lifeway is the country’s leading manufacturer of kefir, with many flavors and varieties that include lowfat, whole milk and organic versions, as well as ProBugs kefir for kids and Farmer Cheese.

We're on a mission to elevate tea for everyone. Inspired by our teahouse roots, we create delicious, refreshing kombucha and sparkling iced tea that bring quality, function, and flavor to more people every day. Driven by innovation and grounded in sustainability, we’re expanding what tea can be – without artificial shortcuts or compromise. In 2003, founder Matt Thomas opened his first teahouse with a vision to bring together the many ways tea is enjoyed around the world. In 2008, that spirit of exploration led him to brew his first batch of kombucha in the kitchen of the teahouse, and Brew Dr. was born. Today, Brew Dr. focuses its tea efforts on raw, organic kombucha and sparkling low sugar iced teas crafted with real ingredients and bold flavor. From our brewery in Oregon, we continue to push tea forward with products that are refreshing, functional, and rooted in authenticity. Our motto, “Brew Right, Do Right,” reflects our commitment not only to quality beverages, but also to our communities, our people, and the planet. Brew Dr. is proud to be the first national kombucha company to become Scope 1 & 2 carbon neutral and a Certified B Corporation™️.
