More Product Information
When we set out on a ginny mission to craft a gin with a rich array of tea botanicals, it was only natural to draw inspiration from a life-long friend of Queen Victoria’s, Anna the Duchess of Bedford. Anna is best remembered as the creator of high tea, the most quintessential of English customs consisting of a light meal between lunch and dinner, to keep the “leisure class” satisfied throughout their evening activities. This rather regal concoction was carefully distilled using loose leaf Earl Grey tea, (a personal favourite of Anna’s) alongside fresh orange blossom with plenty of orange and lemon peel. The high ABV allowed our distillers to draw out the fresh citrus notes as well as the delicate florals from the blossom and Earl Grey. It’s just perfect for a refreshing yet boozy afternoon iced tea, or top with tonic and a slice of orange.
