On the nose, this gin has aromas of juniper up front, bright coriander to one side and a stripe of citrus to the other. The butterfly pea flower brings an oily sweetness to proceedings and is guiding a grapefruit peel towards a candied status. Its character comes from tea leaves used for the signature tea at the Empress Hotel, this blend is a selection of seasonal, quality teas from Assam, Kenya, South India, Ceylon, and China, created exclusively by the Metropolitan Tea Company. At once floral, fruity and oaky, it is one of the finest blends in the world.
