JINDEA
DARJEELING TEA GIN


An award-winning citrus-forward gin with aromatic spices, peaches and apricots. Made from single estate first-flush Darjeeling Tea, the springtime harvest which produces a delicate and floral Himalayan black tea, known amongst tea lovers as the ‘champagne of Tea’. A single pot still distillation that works fantastically in highball drinks or classics. Gold medal winner of the IWSC 2019.

  • Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is a collaboration between three industry professionals whose collective CV encompasses all facets of the drinks business from bartender and bar operator to spirits merchant and brand ambassador.

    Two of the collective, Matthew Dakers and Adrian Gomes, have strong ties to India, Matthew's great-grandfather serving as a Captain in the Indian Army, and Adrian's father growing up in Goa, where the family worked the Indian railways, including the renowned narrow-gauge 'toy trains' that continue to serve the hill stations.

    Ajit Madan, co-founder of Camellia’s Tea House in London and the UK's first certified ITEI Master Tea Sommelier, introduced the brand owners to ‘Exotic Thunder’, a first flush Darjeeling tea from Goomtee Estate, a single estate tea plantation in the serene Kurseong Valley, long-considered the 'grand cru' of Darjeeling. The high altitude and artisanal cultivation yields arguably one of the finest black teas in the world.

  • Fresh and aromatic with elegant tea notes. Drying and aromatic with a touch of ginger spiciness.

  • 70cl - 40% Vol.
