Ratings/Awards: Gold Medal - International Wine & Spirits Competition; Difford’s Guide 5 Stars; Featured in IMBIBE Magazine

Description: The differentiating botanical in this elegant London Dry Gin is single estate First Flush Darjeeling Tea. The first flush is the first springtime harvest which produces a delicate and floral Himalayan black tea, known to tea-lovers as the Champagne of Teas, The specific darjeeling used in JINDEA is called Exotic Thunder and is sourced from a Single Estate in the Kurseong Valley of India..

The darjeeling imparts aromas and flavours similar to that of the moscato grape family: white peach, apricot and florality. The result, a citrus-juniper forward gin with aromatic spices, floral notes with white peach and apricot. The single pot still distillation creates a slightly bolder style of gin that works beautifully in G&T’s, Collins, and even more so in Classic Martinis.

About the Producer: Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is a collaboration between three industry professionals whose collective CV encompasses all facets of the drinks business from bartender/mixologist and bar owner and operator to spirits merchant and brand ambassador. The three enlisted the help of the UK’s 1st ‘Master’ Tea Sommelier and Co-Owner of Camelia’s Tea House in London, Ajit Madan, to help source the tea botanical for the JINDEA. Their search ended when Ajit introduced them to a first flush Darjeeling Tea called Exotic Thunder referenced above.
