New beverage, launching first in Florida, offers adults a smooth alternative for social occasions

VIVAZEN®, a growing portfolio of botanically crafted beverages and products, today announced the launch of Taboo Tea, an all-new non-alcoholic social elixir crafted with natural botanical kratom and zero apologies. Taboo Tea now is available to consumers in the Tampa, Florida area and will expand to other markets in the near future.

Designed for adults seeking alcohol alternatives with more benefits than a traditional soft drink, Taboo Tea is made with naturally derived botanical ingredients and offers a smooth, uplifting experience. The beverage is crafted to be enjoyed on its own, shared with friends, or incorporated into any social occasion.

“Taboo Tea was created around a simple idea: adults deserve options regardless of their drinking preferences,” said Bryan Derr, Chief Operating Officer at VIVAZEN®. “There’s something inherently personal about the small choices we make every day, and we wanted to create a beverage that empowers adults to indulge on their own terms. Taboo Tea is non-alcoholic, botanically crafted and designed to be enjoyed however you want – without judgment or apology.”

This launch expands VIVAZEN®’s presence into the growing ready-to-drink beverage category, building on the company’s focus on natural, functional and intentional products that work for consumers and fit seamlessly into their lifestyles. Taboo Tea is made with botanical ingredients sourced from their native roots around the world. VIVAZEN® uses whole-leaf kratom in its products and manufactures 100% of its products at FDA-registered facilities operating in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) across the United States.

“VIVAZEN® is proud to set a standard of quality and transparency for the botanical product industry, starting with knowing where our ingredients come from and having strong oversight in place throughout the manufacturing process,” said Derr. “We’re building a product portfolio around ingredients that consumers can trust, while creating new ways to enjoy natural botanicals as part of their social and personal lives.”

Taboo Tea is now available at convenience stores throughout the Tampa area. Find a retailer near you by visiting www.tabootea.com.
