Ki No Tea Kyoto Green Tea Gin

Ki No Tea is a collaboration project between Kyoto Distillery and 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. These tea leaves are harvested in the Okunoyama tea yard dated back to the 1300’s, and blend carefully with a secret botanical recipe used only in Ki No Tea. Gentle aromas give the impression of walking into a silent Japanese tea house.
