Jindea Single Estate Tea Gin is a collaboration between three industry professionals whose collective CV encompasses all facets of the drinks business from bartender and bar operator to spirits merchant and brand ambassador.

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 famous narrow-gauge 'toy trains' that continue to serve the hill stations.  Jack Rackham, who completes the collective, is the Commercial Director of Emporia Brands, a renowned UK based Drinks Importer and Spirit Agency that has been in the family for three generations and does business all over the world. 

JINDEA is made from Single Estate First Flush Darjeeling Tea, the springtime harvest which produces a delicate and floral Himalayan black tea, known to tea-lovers as the ‘Champagne of Tea’.

A citrus-forward gin with aromatic spices, peaches and apricots. The single pot still distillation creates a bolder style of gin that works fantastically in highball drinks such as G&T’s or Collins, and even more so in a Classic Martini with a twist of lemon or grapefruit or straight up with olives.
