Produced in Yorkshire, this gin incorporates Yorkshire tea as a defining botanical, building on a traditional dry gin base while introducing a distinctly British element. Distilled in copper pot stills, the process involves steeping tea alongside classic botanicals such as juniper, coriander, and citrus, allowing tannins and aromatic compounds from the tea to integrate into the spirit. The inclusion of tea adds both flavour and structure, contributing a subtle dryness and a slightly tannic grip that sets it apart from more citrus-led or floral gins. Rather than overpowering the profile, the tea works in balance with juniper, creating a more layered and textural style. This approach reflects a broader trend of using familiar regional ingredients to reinterpret classic categories.
Its profile suits simple serves where the tea character can be appreciated, particularly with tonic or in longer drinks, while also offering an interesting base for cocktails that benefit from added depth and dryness.
