Who Are Mission?
Mission is a pioneering British health and wellness brand that’s transforming the way the world fuels. Founded by endurance athlete Tom Whittle after a gruelling 12,500km bike ride through South America, the inspiration came from discovering Yerba Máté – a natural ingredient known for its slow-release energy.
That discovery led to the development of Mission’s unique range of 100% natural performance teas. Designed in collaboration with nutritionists and mater blenders, the blends support physical performance, mental clarity, and recovery, without the crashes linked to caffeine and sugar-heavy energy drinks.
Now trusted by over 1000,000 customers and used by elite athletes, Formula 1 drivers, and Olympians, Mission has sold over 10 million drinks and built a loyal performance-focused community. The brand’s products are available online and through retail partners including Holland & Barrett and Ocado.
Their Values
Mission is guided by a belief in natural performance, putting clean, plant-based ingredients at the heart of every product. The brand rejects artificial additives and synthetic stimulants, instead harnessing the benefits of botanicals like Yerba Máté and green tea to deliver sustainable, long-lasting energy. There is a strong commitment to holistic wellbeing, every product is formulated to help people feel and perform better, whether they’re chasing a personal best or simply managing a busy day. Sustainability is also a core value, with plastic-free packaging and an environmentally conscious approach across sourcing and production. Just as importantly, Mission values its community, building meaningful connections with customers who share a passion for health, performance and positive impact.
Their Services
Mission offers a focussed portfolio of natural energy products designed to support performance from morning to night. The brand’s hero line-up includes functional tea blends such as Perform, Endure, Energies and sleep, each crafted for a specific purpose, whether it’s powering through a workout, improving mental clarity or aiding post-exercise recovery. These are complemented by ready-to-drink energy cans that offer a clean, convenient alternative to traditional sports or energy drinks, using no sugar, no sweeteners, and no artificial ingredients. Mission’s products are available through its growing online store, with flexible subscription options for regular customers, as well as across selected retail partners including Holland & Barret and Ocado.
