Appearance:
Crystal clear, presented in an iconic blue bottle with a distinctive design that reflects its oriental-inspired botanical blend.

Aroma:
Bright and complex, with juniper and citrus leading the way. Fresh lime and grapefruit zest mingle with subtle herbal and tea-like notes, creating a vibrant and aromatic bouquet.

Taste:
Smooth and refreshing, with a balanced combination of juniper, zesty citrus, and herbal botanicals. Lime, lemon, and grapefruit provide a crisp and bright character, while gunpowder tea imparts an earthy, slightly smoky depth. Delicate spice notes of cardamom and star anise enhance the complexity.

Long and clean, with lingering citrus freshness and a gentle herbal bitterness from the gunpowder tea. The finish is crisp and invigorating.

Considerations for Mixing:
This gin's distinctive citrus and tea profile makes it versatile for a wide range of cocktails. It pairs beautifully with tonic water, garnished with a slice of grapefruit or a sprig of fresh rosemary. It also shines in cocktails like a Gin Sour, Martini, or exotic tea-infused drinks.
