This artisanal gin blends the traditional botanicals of gin with a unique Japanese influence by incorporating premium Uji tea leaves, sourced from the historic tea-growing region near Kyoto. The distillation process meticulously combines juniper berries, alongside other traditional gin botanicals, with the fragrant Uji tea leaves, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors. Ki No Tea Kyoto Dry Gin has a delicate yet aromatic bouquet, with an initial nose of juniper and citrus, followed by a distinct earthy undertone from the Uji tea leaves. On the palate, the gin unfolds with layers of complexity as crisp juniper gives way to the refreshing and slightly bitter notes of green tea, complemented by a subtle sweetness and a hint of spice. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a pleasant sensation that invites another sip. Ki No Tea Kyoto Dry Gin is not only a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the Ki No Bi Distillery but also a celebration of Japanese tea culture.
