Euforia
The forest’s life force
About the producer and founder:
Euforia is the personal project of Jan (Honza) Klimeš, a craftsman and fermenter based in Bezděčín near Obrataň in the Czech Republic, where forests, meadows, and quiet countryside shape everyday life. Drawn to the natural rhythms of this landscape, Jan began tapping wild birch trees and experimenting with their fresh sap, gradually transforming a simple seasonal ritual into a small-scale craft focused on purity and fermentation. His beverages are made from raw sap and naturally fermented, resulting in gently sparkling, non-alcoholic drinks that express the clean, delicate character of the trees — without added sugar, water, or artificial ingredients.
Rooted in patience and hands-on methods, Jan ferments each batch slowly in bottle through natural lactic processes, allowing time and microorganisms to guide the transformation. Blending traditional knowledge with quiet experimentation, his work honors both nature and craft, producing drinks that feel alive, refreshing, and deeply connected to the birch woods and changing seasons of the Czech countryside where Euforia was born.
“I moved from the city to Bozděčín, bought an old barn and found myself surrounded by birch trees everywhere — I tapped my first tree, and the pure sap I tasted that day stayed with me.”

About the land around Euforia:
Euforia is based in Bohemia, where open fields and natural woodlands meet a quiet rural landscape.
Birch sap can only be collected for a brief window each year, as the trees awaken from winter dormancy and the thaw begins — a fleeting moment that lasts just a few weeks before the season changes.
This ephemeral harvest shapes the entire project: sap is gathered by hand while it flows, fresh and alive, then quickly transformed, capturing the purity and vitality of early spring in every bottle.
