With widespread consumption and devotion, tea (chai) is frequently referred to as the national drink in India. The famous author Mark Twain says, ‘Every Indian is a doctor, and every place is a place of tea (chai)’. Jin Jiji, made with all the ingredients found in the ubiquitous masala chai as its botanicals, has taken this humble desi chai across the globe as an homage to this drink that is loved across classes and is as potent a social lubricant as their mellow gin. The connection between gin and tea goes deeper than just trendy cocktails, both beverages boast rich histories steeped in botanicals. Gin, with its juniper berry base and symphony of herbs and spices, shares a kinship with the wide world of teas, each infused with their own distinctive flora.

Driven by a love and passion for tea, Jin Jiji, was conceived to elevate the unique fusion of gin and tea to new heights. The journey begins with the sourcing of FTGFOP1 (Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe 1) tea from the renowned Jungpana estate. Infused with Darjeeling black tea, celebrated for its elegance and distinctive flavor profile, Jin Jiji boasts a meticulously crafted blend of botanical ingredients, distilled in copper still to create a gin with a richly layered flavour profile. Featuring soft undertones of clove, cardamom, holy basil, chamomile, orris root, and ginger, Jin JiJi offers a complex and nuanced taste experience.
