What\u2019s the story behind Everleaf?<\/h2>
Everleaf\u2019s founder, Paul<\/a>, spent most of his life surrounded by nature. A conservation biologist, he spent years observing the natural world, learning how best to interact with it. Paul would never force a solution onto an ecosystem but rather pose a question and give the natural world the space and conditions to tell him the answer.<\/p>
Fast-forward a few years, and we now find Paul behind his own bar, this time listening to customers. He understands what makes them tick, the flavours that matter, and suggests the perfect liquid for their mood.<\/p>
As a bartender, Paul was surrounded by some of the best spirits in the world. He knew what made them great and why. But if someone asked for a non-alcoholic recommendation, well, the answer wasn\u2019t as easy. Which got him thinking. How could he create a non-alcoholic aperitif with all the depth and complexity of the finest drinks behind his bar? He knew nature would have the answer. And that\u2019s how the spark for Everleaf began. You can read more about how Paul created Everleaf here<\/a>.<\/p>
