Darwin Fletcher
I have always been fascinated by nature’s incredible power to provide us with ingredients that can help support our well-being.
Having discovered I was epileptic and neurodiverse at a very early age, I would drink herbal tea and coffee to enhance my energy levels and mental focus, which medication would deplete.
After graduating from college in 2022, I faced many obstacles that left me feeling lost and frustrated. But I refused to let these setbacks hold me back. Instead, I made the bold decision to forge my own career path. I knew that I had a passion for two things: coffee and food. And I was determined to turn that passion into a successful business. I set my sights on creating a unique line of nootropic and adaptogenic drinks that could be enjoyed daily.
At the end of 2022, my determination paid off when I received my first delivery of QuirkyMonkey coffees, and in 2023, I started selling at my local food market. I was overwhelmed by people’s responses and excellent feedback. They really enjoyed the products and felt that it helped them. It was a thrilling moment that reminded me that anything is possible if you have the courage to pursue your dreams with unwavering determination.
