The drink thus supports hydration, energy and cognitive performance, while the flavor profile is likened to fine teas and Champagne.

Gorn commented on the Toby & Co. The Green One saying, "We wanted to create something that reminds us of our favourite adventures, from the British countryside to the Alps and the Mediterranean. A drink that brings joy, relaxation, and a sense of everyday luxury, something that can take your mind away from the challenges of life and turn refreshment into a ritual."
