Just the Tonic
Monday, March 1st, 2010
In 2002, school friends, Marcus Waley-Cohen and Harry Briggs set out to create a healthy, natural and innovative energy drinks company.
Fed up with the chemically laden sugary drinks they both consumed in a bid to stave off tiredness and stress in their city jobs, the old school buddies saw a window of opportunity.
They consulted Britain's leading herbalists Andrew Chevallier and Michael Mcintyre in the search for herbs that could detox, wake up and focus the mind. They came up with a healthy blend of tonics that both tasted and looked great.
Firefly's ethos is about ‘getting the most out of life', but the environment is equally important to the company. The range which includes Wake Up (Peach and Green Tea), Detox (Lemon, Lime and Ginger) Sharpen Up (Grapefruit and Passionfruit) and Recharge (Pomegranate, Lime and Elderflower) are available from Waitrose, Ocado, Holland & Barrett, Whole Foods Market, Coffee Republic and Harvey Nichols priced from £1.49.
