About this bottle

KI NO TEA Kyoto Dry Gin, introduced in May 2017 by the Kyoto Distillery, features Tencha and Gyokuro tea leaves among its botanicals to capture the nuanced essence of matcha green tea. This expression was developed in partnership with Horii Shichimeien, a tea purveyor established in 1879 during the Meiji Era.

Cheryl Troutman 4.0

My partner is not a fan of G&T, but she enjoyed this when mixed with East Imperial Royal Botanical. It's a very subtle spirit and easy to drink neat. Lovely green tea and other flavors blend well with any tonic. I received a pack of 3 200ml bottles of their various gins, so I'm eager to try the rest. I'd rate this between 4 and 4.25.

Anaya Ha 4.5

Superb Japanese gin with 12 botanicals, here with a strong emphasis on tea flavors. Great delicacy and elegance on the palate. Lots of freshness. To be drunk neat.
