Seed Library

Cocktail bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana goes by Mr Lyan, which is arguably easier to say, he says. He opened his first bar, White Lyan, in London in 2013 as the first cocktail bar in the world to use no perishables; no fruit and even no ice. It was an exploration in sustainability, with much lower waste and a use of pre-made cocktails and innovative ingredients. This focus on a ground-breaking approach remains in the evolution of White Lyan in Super Lyan, Lyaness, Silver Lyan and now Seed Library.
