JIN JIJI

Darjeeling ABV 42.8%

Made from FTGFOP-1 Grade Tea

What is JIN JIJI Darjeeling?

Jin JiJi Darjeeling is our first tea inspired variant. We chose Tea as a foundational component because India is home to the world's most distinctive geographically indicated (GI) tea regions, and we feel Gin is a spirit with the ability to express terroir. It is copper pot distilled in Uttarakhand.

Why Darjeeling Tea?

Darjeeling is home to the most elegant and distinctive tea in the world, and in fact, Darjeeling was India’s first GI for any product. We source FTGFOP1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1) tea of the highest grade from a unique estate for each batch we distill, the first coming from the Jungpana estate.

Tasting Notes

Jin JiJi Darjeeling is our first Tea inspired variant, as Darjeeling is home to the most elegant and distinctive black tea in the world. The heart and soul of our “India Dry Gin” is wild Juniper, foraged from the Himalayas. Copper Pot distilled in Uttarakhand, Jin Jiji is the essence of India.
