We're now three years old.
Three years that's been both terrifying & exhilarating.
We still have much to improve,
much to be proud of,
much to look forward to
& we're just getting started
just scratching the surface of what's possible.
It's not enough.
------------
In February 2017, I had a niggle
A niggle I couldn't leave alone...
To truly build a category & change the way the world drinks
Well..
Seedlip alone, was not going to be enough.
We needed to create something else.
----------
I don't think anything is actually original - all the best ideas have already been had, often hundreds of years ago.
All you need to do is dig...
We dig to unearth ideas that can be re-imagined & find incredibly talented, ambitious people to help make them real & relevant today;
Apothecaries were distilling non-alcoholic herbal remedies 300 years ago...
= Seedlip
Apothecaries were also making bitter non-alcoholic appetite stimulants 300 years ago...
= Something else
Today is about the {Something else}
A sister for Seedlip
A new brand & breed of non-alcoholic options most relevant to today.
