Single-origin leaf

The teas
behind every bottle.

Every spirit we distil is built around the leaf — sometimes a single tea, sometimes a considered blend. Below are the teas we currently work with: where they come from, how they taste, and the bottles they are inside.

N° 01

Purple Bud

紫芽 · "Purple Bud"
Camellia sinensis (purple-leaf cultivar)
Rare Purple-Leaf Varietal

Our main tea. A rare anthocyanin-rich cultivar whose young buds emerge deep violet before greening as they unfurl. Steeps out with an unusual floral-plum character and a rounded, slightly honeyed finish — the backbone of our flagship gin.

Jasmine

茉莉花茶 · "Jasmine Tea"
Camellia sinensis · Jasminum sambac
Jasmine-Scented Green

Our second tea. A spring-picked green base scented with fresh jasmine blossoms over successive nights — the flowers are added, rested, removed, and repeated until the leaf carries the perfume without a trace of the petal.
