OUR STORY

BumbleZest was born out of a Battersea kitchen, crafting recipes using natural ingredients from around the world. Each recipe is designed to help deal with the rigors of modern life and to taste great. We focus on health, complexion, weight management, vitality and overall wellbeing.
Our drinks are designed to be taken as a health shot on the go. For more ideas check out ‘Suggestions’ on our drinks pages on our website.
Stripping out nearly all water and hidden sugars means we are able to just concentrate on generous doses of healthy, functional ingredients. To keep the sugar and calories down to an absolute minimum we add just a single drop of Honey or Maple and a drop of Stevia.
This is all packed in a robust little glass bottle, which means no carting unnecessary amounts of packaging or water around the globe. We offset any remaining carbon emissions using official environmental projects, such as planting trees and Amazon deforestation prevention.
I struggled to keep a balanced lifestyle working in property and living in a city with lots of distractions. With my previous work I experienced high levels of stress and anxiety, which along with skin issues led me to develop BumbleZest. I started drinking lemon water with a drop of honey, often mixing it with different herbs I grow in my tiny Battersea garden. I wanted to start sourcing other incredible ingredients, so I packed in my day job to launch BumbleZest. I really hope you enjoy my recipes as much as I’ve had fun making them. I am delighted that my fiancé Emily has now also packed in her job and joined the BumbleZest team fulltime.

FAQs

What can you expect from our drinks?
Our drinks standout in concept, taste and do not cost the earth. Our five unique recipes are crafted with all-natural ingredients sourced for their functional properties. We use the ingredients in generous dozes so that they make a difference you will feel and notice. We are unlike most juice drinks on the market that use token amounts of key ingredients, just so that they can print the name on their packaging. There is a minimum of eight functional ingredients in each BumbleZest recipe.
We do not claim miracles however some of the possible effects of BumbleZest include, and are not limited to: weight loss, increased; metabolism, motivation, energy, stamina and immunity, improved; skin and hair complexion, cellulite, digestion, post workout recovery, joints and arthritis, anti-aging, sleep, detoxing, cleansing and hangover assistance, decreased; anxiety, stress and bloating.
HEALTH WARNING: All health content on our website is provided for general information only, and should not be treated as a substitute for the medical advice of your own doctor or any other health care professional. If you have any concerns about your general health, you should contact your local health care provider.
How do you suggest I drink BumbleZest?
Our drinks are designed to be taken as a health shot on the go. Each BumbleZest shot can be enjoyed as a one off healthy and tasty drink at anytime of the day. However the five recipes are best suited at different times of the day. See our ‘Suggestions’ under each recipe for recommended times.
Although our drinks are designed to be taken as a shot you can dilute them with approximately 250ml of water for a refreshing drink (approx 2.5 BumbleZest bottles filled with cold water). We use tap water (preferably filtered) as it is free and environmentally friendly.
You could also try the recipes with hot water, sparkling water, milk or even use them to make tasty cocktails! We have put some of our ideas in our ‘Suggestions’ on the drinks pages.
What type of ingredients are in our drinks?
We only source and use all natural, GMO free, ethically sourced ingredients with no added sugars, colouring, additives or preservatives. Our drinks are all gluten, nut, dairy and lactose free. Our ingredients are made from extracts, powders, juices and a drop of natural sweeteners (Honey/Agave and Stevia). Some of these ingredients cannot be found in ‘on the go’ powder sachets that require diluting. It is not possible to enjoy the benefits of Lemon Juice, Honey, Agave, Ginger juice and ACV (to name only a few) in powder form. It is not possible to take a powder sachet as a shot on the go. Additionally as most powders have been highly processed under extreme temperatures some of the nutritional value of ingredients are damaged or lost.
Nearly all of the extracts we use are using a less common and more expensive water extraction process. Most other drinks containing extracts use an ethanol based extraction process, which can destroy some of the valuable elements of the ingredients and create an ethanol (alcohol) build up. Due to this build up, competitors have to limit the amount of ingredients they include within their drinks, to avoid them being classified as ‘alcoholic’. As we mostly do not use this method, and use a gentler water based process instead, we don’t need to compromise on the quantity of our ingredients.
For more info on specific ingredients see ‘Ingredients’ on our drinks pages.
Do our recipes assist with weight loss?
We believe being healthy is a lifestyle choice. Maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle whilst upholding a busy routine can be difficult and that’s where we can help. Our recipes are designed to help give your body what it needs and the ingredients combined may assist with weight loss and weight management. The ingredients in our drinks do not contain any laxatives and therefore can be drunk regularly.
We will never promote or encourage our customers to go on a ‘diet’ as we believe (we know) that healthy eating is a lifestyle and not a short-term fix. We will never portray any of our drinks to be a ‘magic formula’ to meet your weight loss goals. You won’t see lots of half dressed girls in lycra claiming the world holding a bottle of BumbleZest, like some skinny tea and coffee brands do. We prefer to let our ingredients do the talking – although we might be guilty of throwing in some cute puppy and bumblebees pictures occasionally!
How are BumbleZest Carbon Neutral?
We use little 90ml glass bottles, not just because they are cute. We strip out nearly all water from our drinks, as we believe that water in any kind of one-off/single serving container (plastic, glass or even aluminum) is unnecessary. It also means that the amount of packaging needed is less, so is lighter to transport, which reduces our overall carbon footprint. You are important to us too, their small size makes them easy for you to carry them around!
We have instructed an independent auditor (Carbon Footprint Ltd) to carry out a lifecycle analysis assessment of our product. It has shown that the energy used in our drinks, and the environmental impact made when making, transporting, destroying and recycling our packaging, is up to 46% less than 330ml ready to drink competitors, when diluted with tap water up to 330ml. This takes into account that we are not carting unnecessary water across the globe, the drinks can be stored at room temperature, they take up less shelf space and they take up less space during the recycling process.
On top of this we also offset our carbon footprint using official vehicles through Carbon Footprint Ltd such as planting trees and deforestation prevention in the Amazon.
As well as having less packaging we also use environmentally friendlier packaging. We strive to be one of the most environmentally friendly beverages on the market. For more info please see ‘How is BumbleZest friendlier to the environment?’
Are our drinks certified as organic?
BumbleZest supports organic farming and agriculture, however we are not yet certified as organic as this takes some time. As a start up we are concentrating on the ingredients where it matters the most. Some are organic but most are not classified as organic. Some of the ingredients are seasonal and are therefore hard to source as organic. Lots of the ingredients are exotic and unusual, therefore technically they cannot be classed as organic (collagen, algae and some plant extracts, etc.). Some probably are organic, but it is very difficult to have them certified due to the country of origin.
Our initial focus is to pack our bottles full with generous doses of the highest quality ingredients we can find, at an affordable price for you. We do maintain clean and green production and always try to ensure our ingredients have been made to nourish the body in a sustainable and ethical way.

Who are the drinks suitable for?
Our drinks are suitable for everyone except infants under the age of one (just the recipes with honey); as babies should not be fed honey due to the risk of botulism. We use a gentle hot bath pasteurisation process to ensure our recipes are safe. Unlike unpasteurised juices, our drinks are safe for children (over one), the elderly, pregnant women, women breastfeeding and those with a compromised immune system. None of our drinks exceed the recommended daily dose (RDD) that could be toxic to a fetus or newborn, so pregnant or breastfeeding women can also enjoy them. Pregnant women with special conditions should consult their obstetric specialist.
Our drinks are perfect to put in your child’s lunch box, mixed in a refillable bottle before your yoga class or enjoyed at home or in the office. Our recipes are also a solution for those who struggle to find a drink when they are not “drinking” and for those looking for an alternative to coffee – both of which can be very difficult to avoid living in a city! As our bottles are less than 100ml you can also to take them with you on the plane!

How can BumbleZest have a long shelf life without preservatives and keeping their nutrients?
Our three little secrets below help us do what we do – create healthy, safe, tasty drinks with a long shelf life at room temperature without using any preservatives. Our process keeps as many of the nutrients and flavours as possible, to try and keep them as close as possible to the original recipes made at Daniel’s (BZ Founder) kitchen in Battersea. What we do is:
We carefully balance our recipes to have a sufficiently low PH by using natural Lemon Juice, which makes it more hostile to bugs but still remains tasty and healthy for everyone’s consumption. Other natural ingredients in the recipes such as Cinnamon, Ginger, Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar, Vanilla and Himalayan Salt also help with preservation.
After cold filling the bottles they’re hermetically sealed – which means they are made airtight so nothing can get in or out.
We then gently pasteurize the ingredients whilst in the bottles, in a bath, like a bigger version of your bathtub at home. This process kills any existing or dormant harmful bugs. Unlike other traditional pasteurization methods, we use a relatively low heat and do not leave the ingredients to boil in large drums – which would make them lose some of their goodness. As the recipes are now already in their bottles none of the ingredients can escape through evaporation. Due to our careful balance of natural ingredients we don’t have to heat our recipes to a higher temperature or for longer than is absolutely necessary, which means we are able to retain the nutrients and flavours.
This process is designed to protect people from dangerous organisms. Unlike raw juices our recipes are safe for children, the elderly, pregnant, breastfeeding women and those with a compromised immune system.
