The Hill, Kensington and Nottin Hill's smart local read, reports on a "local success story".

A Healthy Tonic

Good to report on a local succes story. Kensington entrepreneurs Marcus Waley-Cohen and Harry Briggs, the founders of Firefly healthy drinks, wanted to bottle that elusive combination of ingredients that could keep them feeling on form, no matter what time of the day. Eschewing opinion polls and research panels, they trusted their own instincts and created three drinks with three very different effects: Wake up - to kick start the system into action; De-tox - a cleanser to cut through the fog and sort out the body; Chill Out - to calm you down.

The Firefly range has been created without chemical additives, artificial stimulants and sugars. Experts from western and Chinese herbal medicine were asked to create a formula to meet each exact need, which was then blended into fruit juices. So it's all natural and healthy. Their product has gone down a storm within months, selling in top outlets such as Harvey Nichols in London and Collette in Paris. So if you want an instant, healthy pick-me-up or calm-down, grab a Firefly!
