Jindea

Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is a collaboration between three industry professionals whose collective CV encompasses all facets of the drinks business from bartender/mixologist and bar owner and operator to spirits merchant and brand ambassador. The three enlisted the help of the UK’s 1st ‘Master’ Tea Sommelier and Co-Owner of Camelia’s Tea House in London, Ajit Madan, to help source the tea botanical for the JINDEA. Their search ended when Ajit introduced them to a first flush Darjeeling Tea called Exotic Thunder referenced above.

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. Jack Rackham, who completes the collective, works at Emporia Brands, a drinks importer and spirit merchant business that has been in the family for three generations.

Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is a unique and elegant London Dry Gin that stands out due to its distinctive botanical: First Flush Darjeeling Tea. Known as the "Champagne of Teas," this delicate and floral Himalayan black tea—specifically Exotic Thunder from a single estate in the Kurseong Valley—imparts aromatic notes of white peach, apricot, and florality, reminiscent of the Moscato grape family. The result is a citrus-juniper forward gin with floral undertones and a bold, slightly spicy profile. Aged for 36 months on the lees, this gin is perfect for classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonics, Collins, and Martinis. Jindea has garnered top accolades, including a Gold Medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition and a 5-star rating from Difford’s Guide, alongside features in IMBIBE Magazine.
