Sapa Citrus Tea Gin – Lady Trieu

Sapa Citrus Tea Gin by Lady Triệu is a heady, aromatic gin paying tribute to the mountain region of Sapa in north-west Vietnam. It blends the herbal notes of oolong tea with hints of citrus and a warming spice. It is a limited edition from the Lab Series.

Lady Triệu and the Lab Series

Lady Triệu makes its gins in small quantities from a palette of botanicals selected across Vietnam from local farms, village markets and cooperatives. The base is a 100% Vietnamese grain spirit; only the juniper comes from Italy, because the tropical climate does not suit it. The distillery is located in Củ Chi, near Ho Chi Minh City. The limited-edition Lab Series takes gin lovers on a journey through the flavours of the country’s regions.

Sapa Citrus Tea Gin

Sapa lies in the mountainous province of Lao Cai, famous for its landscapes and hill-tribe communities. This gin is handcrafted in small batches from Vietnamese botanicals: mountain-picked oolong tea, green tea leaf, mac mat, mandarin, Buddha’s hand, pomelo, lemon and orange, ginger, long red pepper, liquorice and coriander, rounded off with top-quality Italian juniper. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 70 cl bottle.

Tasting notes

Herbal notes of oolong tea, complex citrus and a peppery warmth run through the nose and palate.

Cocktails and serving

The producer suggests a Sapa Dry Martini or a Gin Julep. It also pairs very well with your favourite tonic and a twist of fresh pomelo.
