Crafted from steeped ginger, roasted barley, and water, Afternoon Toast has a slightly nutty, toasty, and warming flavor. Gentle on the gut, it helps ease bloating and supports digestion with a touch of natural fiber— all without caffeine, sugar, or carbonation. For Kimmy who has managed chronic dehydration since childhood, the brand was born from a search for a nourishing way to stay hydrated. With a sensitive gut, she found most electrolyte or “better-for-you” drinks too sugary, carbonated, or hard to digest. After reading a novel about a Korean family who drank roasted barley tea, she began brewing her own at home and fell in love with its subtle taste and soothing benefits. By day, Kimmy leads IPO-readiness consulting projects for global consumer products and manufacturing companies, ensuring their financial data is secure.and investor-ready. That same precision now informs her approach to building Afternoon Toast, blending her expertise with a deep personal commitment to better-for-you beverages. Now a staple on her table, Afternoon Toast reflects Kimmy’s desire for a beverage that’s more interesting than water, gentle on the stomach, and easy to sip all day and pair beautifully with meals.
