Description: KI NO TEA is the result of a collaboration with Hori-Shichimeien, a renowned tea-grower and blender established in 1879 during the Meiji era. Nestled in the revered Uji region, south of Kyoto city, this exceptional gin showcases a selection of super-premium Uji teas that lie at the heart of its creation. Meticulously chosen, the Tencha and Gyokuru teas bring forth captivating aromas and deep flavors, enhanced by a natural sweetness that arises during the distillation process.
Harvested from the historic Okunoyama tea yard, which traces its roots back to the 1300s, the leaves are carefully blended with a secret botanical recipe exclusively crafted for this expression. The result is a nose that entices with sweetness and delicacy, complemented by subtle notes of white chocolate, while the palate welcomes the harmonious interplay of juniper and a hint of white chocolate. As the journey concludes, the finish unfolds, leaving a lingering taste of roasted green tea that continues to delight the senses.
With a 45.7% ABV, KI NO TEA exemplifies the marriage of time-honored tea traditions and the art of distillation. It invites you to embark on a sensory adventure where the centuries-old expertise of Uji tea meets the craftsmanship of gin production. Discover the allure of this extraordinary gin and indulge in its captivating flavors and aromas.
