Feelgood Kitchen
Feelgood Kitchen is back for another year of delicious and nutricious ready-made meals. This year with a slightly different, more innovative offering, how exciting does this sound…
There is one area in the world that stands out most for longevity of life, Japan, Okinawa in particular. This area is often called ‘the land of immortals’ and has been a global centre for longevity research with their diets being one of the healthiest in the world. Do you want to know their secret? Potatoes! Purple ones!
Okinawa sweet potatoes’ are a beautiful, deep purple colour which is caused by the antioxidant anthocyanin, the same antioxidant found in blueberries which are often appreciated for its high levels of antioxidants. But get this, Okinawa sweet potatoes contain 150% more antioxidants than blueberries, which makes them a powerful super duper superfood!
Feelgood Kitchen have upped their health game, which was already fighting fit by the way… with a BRAND NEW Japanese Immunity Box, combining all the goodness of the ‘Okinawa potatoe’ with plant based proteins from the edamame bean. Frozen for freshness and always ready when you are.
At The London Coffee Festival, Feelgood will also be serving their best sellers: Quinoa Con Carne, Thai Green Chicken Curry and the Chickpea & Lentil Tagine. With FeelGood, never skip a healthy meal again!

Bio&Me makes it easy to enjoy some gut-loving goodness with your morning coffee!
Cold Brew – Conker Spirit
Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur (25%) from the wonderful Conker Spirits folks in Dorset, is made with a combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffee beans from Dorset’s Beanpress Coffee Co., both of which have been roasted differently to compliment their flavour profile. By roasting Brazilian beans darker and for longer, it really makes the most of the cacao and caramel flavours, whilst Ethiopian beans are roasted faster and lighter, to bring out the sweetness and natural citrus character.
This Premium Coffee Liqueur is for people who love great alcohol, coffee and care about its impact on the environment and the farmers that produce it. They work with the changemakers in sustainability, to bring the ethics and quality of craft coffee to the cocktail.
Espresso Martini? – With Conker Coffee Liqueur there’s no need to add Coffee or Vodka, just 70ml Cold Brew, 30ml water. We know! It’s delicious too…

Denzel’s dog chews are packed with pure goodness… fresh fruit, healthy fats, antioxidants and fibre that aid healthy digestion and keeps their coat shiny.

MOTH

Rejecting the snobbery that often surrounds premium drinks brands, MOTH embodies the concept of ‘social alchemy’, transforming something bad into something good, well great in fact! Acting as a generous host, it encourages us to share one of life’s most simple pleasures – connecting with each other through conversation and cocktails, without any fuss or formality.

DEFY
A new canned wine defying convention! If you’re looking for a canned wine that’s organic, Social Association certified and vegan-friendly too, then Defy is the one for you…
Defy care about quality as much as they do about taste, focussing on enjoyment with the general ethos of taking the pretension out of wine; “no rocks, no gooseberry or Spring days” as they say. At a push, they’ll say this Pecorino is dry and tart, but that’s about all you’ll get/all you’ll need at this point!
If you love wine but don’t care for the fuss and complexity, you’ve found your match. Grab a cool box, whack in a couple of DEFY cans, and you’re all set.

CBD is known to be mood-balancing and stress-relieving and with coffee you can feel these effects even after the third or fourth cup, acting as a ying to the caffeine’s yang, keeping you focussed and calm, an irresistible mix. CBD coffee, anyone?
