From Chesford Garden Gin Co. comes Tea Garden Gin, combining the awesomeness of juniper with some inspiration from your afternoon cuppa. The star botanical here is orange pekoe tea, with rosemary and lemon verbena in support. Orange pekoe tea isn't flavoured or citrusy in any way, but it actually the name for a specific grade of black tea, made up of the newest and most succulent leaves.
Aromatic juniper with tannic, fragrant tea, with a slightly savoury herbaceous undertone and a floral, citrus finish.
I tried this as a treat, something new to try, I liked the sound of the ingredients and my goodness it is just delightful. It's everything I want from a gin, full of taste, depth and freshness. Now my gin of choice!
