In this article, we'll take you through Fifth Ray's remarkable journey in 2024.

From packed speaking events, to the launch of our signature plant tea blend Cosmic Hue, to catching the attention of Virgin Atlantic and Harvey Nichols.

You'll discover how a deeply personal mission to heal Crohn's disease transformed into a movement that's helping thousands of people reclaim their gut health through the power of plants.

Personal Journey to Public Mission

In January 2024, Fifth Ray began turning a deeply personal mission into a public movement. After overcoming Crohn's disease through the power of natural plant remedies, founder Manny took his message to the people, presenting to packed rooms of over 100 people across Manchester and Leeds.

These early conversations shaped what would become Cosmic Hue, our signature gut health tea blend combining seven potent plants that Manny had studied and tested throughout his own healing journey.

Launch & Early Growth

On March 19th, 2024, Cosmic Hue officially launched to the public. This date marked the culmination of years of personal research, countless experiments with plant combinations, and Manny's remarkable journey from a life-threatening intestinal perforation to vibrant health through the power of plants.

The response exceeded our wildest expectations. Within a few months, demand had grown so rapidly that we partnered with a Third-Party Logistics centre to handle our order volume while maintaining the highest quality.

Since then, 15,000 people have become part of the Fifth Ray community and benefited from drinking Cosmic Hue.

Making Waves

Our momentum caught the attention of major players. Virgin Atlantic approached us about featuring Cosmic Hue on their flights, while Harvey Nichols expressed interest in a retail partnership. Both opportunities we're actively exploring as we enter 2025.

But the real magic happened on the ground. Our distinctive A-Team van became a beacon of wellness at the Wellnergy Festival in Wimbledon, where we connected face-to-face with hundreds of people seeking natural gut health solutions.

Meanwhile, a pop-up shop in London gave urban wellness seekers their first taste of Cosmic Hue's transformative power.

Spreading the Message

Throughout 2024, Manny shared his story and Fifth Ray's mission across multiple podcasts like The Climb Podcast, The Art Of Living Well with Dr Steven Hulme and 10Ten Podcast.

These appearances weren't just about letting people know about Cosmic Hue. They were about spreading hope and knowledge about natural gut health solutions to those who needed it most.

Conclusion

As we enter 2025, we're more committed than ever to our founding mission: helping people transform their health through the ancient wisdom of plants, just as Manny did.

Every customer story of improved gut health and renewed energy reminds us why we started this journey. We hope that Cosmic Hue becomes a tool for positivity in your life, one cup at a time.
