Our story

Avit Bhindi came to fermentation through distilling – a background that taught him early that quality is a function of time, not marketing. More than a decade ago, he made JIVA's first batches himself in Potts Point, bottled them himself, and walked them into his first stockists. He didn't seek press. He went back into the facility.

That discipline is what the brand was built on, and it's what it still runs on. Today, JIVA is a full-range wellness company — shots, kombucha, cold-pressed juice, sparkling beverages, functional powders.

Behind every bottle is a science

When creating our beverages, every ingredient has to earn its place.

If a single millilitre doesn’t elevate wellness, we push the formula further.

Every ingredient, considered. We warmly invite you to read the ingredients list on every JIVA bottle.
