You buy the caffeine, the electrolytes and the magnesium separately. A coconut already had half of it.

Young Thai coconut water, with the doses printed on the front. Rise for the morning: 100mg of natural caffeine from guarana. Dream for after four: 80mg of magnesium and saffron. Clear can, no added sugar, about 50 calories, nothing to mix.

Takes about 20 seconds

A young coconut with kokó branded into the husk, a straw, lime and pink salt — It starts as a young green coconut. Rise for the morning, Dream for after four. 330ml.

Rise, the morning can

Energy drink lift. Coconut water body.

100mg of caffeine, about a large flat white, from Brazilian guarana seed. 70% young Thai coconut water. The other 30% is filtered water and lime, nothing else, which is how it lands at about 10g of natural sugar instead of 15. Potassium from the coconut, sodium from pink salt, B vitamins.

48 calories a can. A 250ml energy drink is about 115.

Dream, the after-four can

Something to reach for that isn't coffee or wine.

80mg of magnesium as bisglycinate, the chelated form. 30mg of saffron. Gold kiwi. Half young coconut water, half a brewed infusion of chamomile, lemon balm and tulsi. Zero caffeine, no added sugar, and it pours gold.

50 calories a can. A glass of wine is about 125. A small iced coffee, more.

The green is the young green coconut. It does the hard part.

Coconut water comes from young green coconuts, picked at six to seven months, before the flesh thickens and the shell goes brown. That's when the water is at its best: light, faintly sweet, and carrying the electrolytes the tree put there. Wait for the brown coconut and you get less water, more sugar and a heavier taste. We only use the young green ones, Nam Hom from Thailand, never from concentrate. Then we add the two things a coconut can't make.

What the young coconut brings

575mg

Potassium, from the coconut alone. Young coconut water is one of the richest natural sources of potassium there is, which is exactly why people tear sachets into it. It also carries magnesium, calcium and phosphorus in the amounts a plant makes them, not a factory.

Light

Naturally low in sugar, no added anything. Picked young, the water is faintly sweet rather than syrupy. That's the whole reason it works as a base: it hydrates, it tastes clean, and it leaves room for what we put in.

What we add

100mg

Natural caffeine from guarana, in Rise. A large flat white's worth, from Brazilian guarana seed. Plus 190mg of sodium from pink salt, because sodium is the one electrolyte coconut water is short on and the one you sweat out most. That's the sachet's whole job, done.

80mg

Magnesium bound to glycine, in Dream. Most cheap magnesium is oxide, poorly absorbed and hard on the stomach. Bisglycinate is chelated to an amino acid, better absorbed and easy to take in a drink. It's the form people pay for in capsules. We put it in the can, with saffron and gold kiwi.

Why guarana seed, not caffeine powder.

Almost every energy drink in the fridge runs on synthetic caffeine: caffeine anhydrous, a white powder made in a chemical plant, dosed in with the sugar and the colour. Rise runs on the seed.

What most energy drinks use

Synthetic caffeine, on its own.

Pure caffeine, nothing around it. It hits fast, it's cheap, and it arrives with 26g of sugar and a syrup base to carry it. The spike people talk about is the caffeine and the sugar landing together.

What Rise uses

Guarana seed from Brazil, standardised to 100mg.

Guarana is an Amazonian seed with two to four times the caffeine of a coffee bean by weight. In the seed, that caffeine sits alongside the plant's own theobromine, theophylline and tannins, the same family of compounds you get in cacao and tea. We use a whole-seed extract, standardised so every can lands at exactly 100mg, and tested batch by batch for caffeine and heavy metals.

Because the caffeine comes bound up with the seed's tannins and there's no sugar spike underneath it, people describe guarana as a steadier lift than the jolt and drop of a synthetic can. Same caffeine, different company.

Straight answer on caffeine: 100mg is 100mg wherever it comes from. What changes is what comes with it and what doesn't. Rise is a formulated caffeinated beverage under Australian food law, not recommended for children or people sensitive to caffeine.

We got sick of being told what the routine is. And of how hard it got to keep.

Two of us built this. The wellness routine everyone prescribes gets harder every year: the tablet at one end of the day, the sachet at the other, the powder you forget, the shaker in the sink, and the quiet feeling you're failing at something that should be simple. We didn't want another product on the bench. We wanted fewer. Two cans, the right doses already inside, open one in the morning and one after four.

Straight up: there's nothing to buy yet. The founding 500 get the first cans, early 2027, and they tell us which one to make first.
