The crafting behind the spirit
Preserving the true aroma of tea
Our spirits are built from the aroma of the original plant itself. Through a proprietary distillation process, the natural aromatic compounds in tea leaves are preserved within the spirit.
The result carries the structure, fragrance and aftertaste of the tea itself — not just a “tea-flavoured” liquor.
The core philosophy
Reduce impurities. Preserve aroma.
Reduce unwanted compounds such as
methanol and harsh congeners
Preserve delicate volatile tea
aromatics
Enhance texture and smoothness
Maintain clarity and length on the
palateCleaner, softer, more aromatic, more expressive.
Our distinctive process
Four stages, one aim
Multiple refinement stages
Repeated refinement reduces impurities before the tea ever meets the spirit.
Proprietary distillation
A method developed specifically to carry volatile tea aromatics through distillation intact.
Secondary resting
Time in barrel and a second rest round the edges and build a soft, smoky depth.
No artificial flavouring
Nothing is added back. What you smell in the glass came out of the leaf.
