Ki No Tea Kyoto Dry Gin

Gin description

Ki No Tea is our new limited product created by collaboration with tea-grower and blender, Hori-Shichimeien, founded in the Meiji era in 1879. Based in the famous Uji region to the south of Kyoto city, a number if super-premium Uji teas have been specially selected to form the heart of Ki No Tea. Tencha and Gyokuro provide intense aromas and depth of flavour with a wonderful sweetness that occurs naturally in the distillation of these superior teas. We use leaves harvested in the Okunoyama tea yard, which dates back to 1300’s, and blend carefully with secret botanical recipe used only in Ki No Tea. A gentle aromas gives the impression of walking into a silent Japanese tea house. First, sweet notes like white-chocolate and citrus appear from the glass, then juniper. In the finish a warm green tea aroma is very long lasting.
