From the backstage of theatre to a backstreet café in Vietnam. For over 20 years I worked behind the scenes in film, TV and theatre, including 15 years backstage at Disney's The Lion King in London's West End. Long days, brilliant teams, and drinks that never quite fit the moment: it was always another strong coffee or an energy drink. Then, on a solo trip through Vietnam, a small backstreet café served me a sparkling coffee with a lemongrass straw. Bright, refreshing, completely unexpected. It challenged everything I thought coffee could be, and it stayed with me long after I came home. GOOD KOFFEE is real coffee, lightly sparkling water and globally inspired natural flavours, with 40mg of natural caffeine (around half an espresso) for when you've already had enough coffee but still want to feel your best. Each flavour celebrates a destination: Vietnam, Barbados and India. Feel GOOD Energy™. The best energy isn't about doing more. It's about enjoying more of the rest of your day.
- Why did you start?
- From the backstage of theatre to a backstreet café in Vietnam. After 20 years in film, TV, and theatre, I knew the grind. But on a rare break, everything shifted. In a small backstreet café in Vietnam, I was handed something I’d never seen before - a sparkling coffee. Light. Refreshing. Different. In that moment, coffee felt completely reimagined. That idea stayed with me. But GOOD KOFFEE is not about the drink. It isn’t here to give you something new. It’s here to remind you of what’s already there. The ideas. The movement. The moments you step back into. That’s what this is for.
- What's your bestseller?
- It's a close call and it varies throughout the year. Vietnam: Lemongrass & Ginger was the runaway favourite at Ideas Fest. Barbados (Grapefruit & Orange) and India (Chai Spice & Vanilla) are always close behind as they suit different occasions. We're coming into gifting season now though and The GOOD KOFFEE Discovery Box is very popular.
- What's next?
- We're expanding our GOOD KOFFEE into more independent shops, cultural venues and workplaces, and taking the three destinations further afield....Watch this space!
