Recipes

Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is blend of 10 botanicals, including single estate Darjeeling tea which has been hand-selected from Goomtee Tea Estate, close to the Himalayas. The spring harvest, known as the first-flush, produces a delicate and floral black tea with notes of muscatel grape, peach and apricot.

The tea plantation is in the Kurseong Valley, the ‘Grand Cru’ of Darjeeling. It is no wonder that Darjeeling tea is known across the world as the ‘Champagne of Tea’.

We recommend serving Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin with Fever Tree Tonic and a zesting of fresh lemon peel.
