About Us

Tilbury's Tonic was originally made in the 1930s by Arthur Tilbury, a wrestler and body builder who founded The Saxon School for Health and Strength in Brisbane. Arthur was always looking for ways to improve his health and vitality so he combined foods and spices to create the concoction he called his tonic.Today the recipe is similar but we have the luxury of fresh turmeric and ginger to make the tonic.

Guy Tilbury (grandson of Arthur) and the Tilbury's Tonics team, hand make all of the Tilbury's products in Cairns, Qld Australia. We take care to purchase locally grown turmeric, ginger, lemons, oranges, black pepper and many other ingredients. Delivered to Tilbury's Tonics, where we turn the fresh produce into drinks, condiments, teas, pastes and concentrates. 

Fresh Is Always Best so no preservative, sugar, salt or artificial additive is used in our products. As a result our products may exhibit seasonal variations in colour and texture.
"Totally Natural and Spray Free"
We source our turmeric from growers in the region between Cairns and Tully in Far North Qld Australia. Some of our growers plant in alluvial soils, some in red volcanic soil and others on slopes and in valleys. These different growing conditions and seasonal changes may cause subtle variations in our products.
We add nothing artificial to standardise the product, so you are assured the same quantity of turmeric at all times. No chemicals or manufactured extracts, no artificial ingredients, salt or sugar, and no chemicals or preservatives are added to our products.
