meet our founder
Hey there, I’m Ariana, the founder of Plant Press. A few years ago, I started looking for a healthy alternative to my all-day coffee habit. I needed something that would maintain my energy without the jitters, but couldn’t find an energy drink that didn’t come without excess caffeine, harmful ingredients, or a terrible chemical aftertaste.
I knew then that the world needed a healthy option for caffeine. Starting from scratch, I set out to make my own energy drink. I researched how to make formulas, worked with my mom to create unique flavors, and spent the past few years building relationships that would help me get Plant Press off the ground.
Along the way, we gave out samples from sidewalk to storefront, discovered what people were looking for in an energy drink, and refined our formula according to YOUR feedback. While the journey started with me, Plant Press is what it is today–the healthiest, most delicious pick-me-up on the market–because of YOU.
To your success,
our story
A PhD student at Columbia, Ariana Farahani pushed through her long days with countless cups of coffee that left her dehydrated, anxious, and crashing hard by 3pm.
the world’s
go-getters need
a healthy option for caffeine
She began looking for an energy drink that would make a good alternative to coffee, something that paired natural ingredients with caffeine, and wasn’t packed with sugar.
But even the “better for you” energy drinks came with excess caffeine, gut-harmful sweeteners, or other unnatural ingredients like dyes, gums, and preservatives.
And so, she created Plant Press: a delicious energy drink thoughtfully crafted with naturally beneficial ingredients like organic caffeine, electrolytes for hydration, and a full range of vitamins.
Today, our small team is on a mission to spread more good energy, and Plant Press is growing into one of the fastest selling energy drinks on the market, expanding into retailers all around the country–thanks to you!
WHY THE NAME, PLANT PRESS?
“Plant Press” is named after the process itself: Coffee is a plant that gets pressed during the caffeine extraction process
what does “Clean Caffeine” mean?
Clean Caffeine speaks to the purity and simplicity of the select ingredients we put into our formula. Each can of Plant Press is made without dyes, unnatural preservatives, artificial sweeteners like Sucralose and Ace-K, or sugar alcohols like Erythritol. These common sweeteners not only impact your gut health, but desensitize your tastebuds, create long-term sugar cravings, and are linked to many other health problems.
