our story

Most energy drinks are full of synthetic caffeine, artificial mood boosters and loads of sugar. We thought there must be a better way to achieve the same thing with plants.

Turns out we weren’t the only ones. The Sherpa people have been drinking a natural energy brew for years. And theirs wasn’t made with ingredients you can’t spell. It’s a clever mix of natural caffeine, electrolytes and anti-oxidants.

Inspired by their brew, we started TENZING – named in honour of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. As one of the first two men to scale the world’s highest mountain, he was famed for his burning ambition, drive for adventure and eternal smile. Today he’s our guide and inspiration, and we’re proud to have our drink carry his name. Today TENZING is even available in most shops all the way up to Basecamp.

Mother Nature blessed us with all of the powerful ingredients we needed to make Tenzing. That’s why we believe it’s important for us as a company to give back and do all that we can to help our planet in return. One of the ways we do this is by re-investing 5% of our profits into environmental projects. Our first project is something especially close to our hearts. With the help of Jamling Tenzing, we’re placing sustainable bins along the trail to Mt. Everest. The path is one of the most beautiful on earth but has been badly affected by litter. We hope to help make that a thing of the past.
