Ki No Tea Gin is a collaboration between Kyoto Distillery and tea-grower Hori-Shichimeien, a company founded in 1879. The teas bring a huge depth of flavour and a light sweetness that makes for easy sipping.
Ki No Tea in is a soft, delicate gin with a complex, almost hay-like aroma and a zesty citrus burst. It’s divine in a Martini with a twist of lemon but if you want it long, try soda water instead of tonic.
Tencha and Gyokuro are the two teas selected by Hori-Shichimeien, harvested from within the Okunoyama tea yard – a garden that dates back to the 1300s.
Ki No Bi Gin is made at Kyoto Distillery, which was established by long-serving drinks PR Marcin Muller and his business partner David Croll, along with Suntory’s former chief blender Mas Onishi and distiller Alex Davies.
Kyoto Distillery bring a craft lead approach usually only reserved for the country's Whisky. Their use of local botanicals, rice. Base spirit and their carefully refined aesthetic set a new standard for Japanese Gin.
Filled with such a brilliantly executed flavour journey featuring native ingredients - when Japan’s Ki No Bi launched back in 2016, it was destined to be Gin's next global superstar.
