The tonics are crafted from authentic Peruvian Linage Quinine and are available in three flavours; namely original, watermelon and citrus.

Well-known for its extensive collection of loose-leaf, silken bag and iced teas, the brand's move into the tonic category was inspired by what it calls the “gin renaissance". Armed with passion and a deep understanding of the world of botanicals, the company says Toni Glass decided to make it her mission to revive the celebrated tonic.

"She traced this historic and legendary recipe back to its original roots in Peru and can now proudly offer the world an infused range of bespoke sugar-free tonic waters, that are rich in tradition [and] full of authentic wellness."

Born and raised in Johannesburg, Glass sold her first tea to a small coffee shop in 2009, while operating her business out of her two-bedroom apartment. Since then, the Toni Glass Collection has rapidly become one of South Africa's premier tea brands, and is set to soon bag its share of the $70-billion global tea market.

The full Toni Glass collection is available online, and the teas can be found in cafes, restaurants, hotels and retailers across South Africa.
