'Nilgiri Basilic' Cocktail

We have created a cocktail with our signature iced tea the ‘Summer in Nilgiri’.  It is a combination of two teas from the Tea Studio our factory in the South of India (the white tea Bai Mu Dan and the green tea Mao Feng) and the relaxing tisane La Bergère, floral and delicate.  The fresh floral bouquet of the tea is complimented by the lime and basil and completed with the boreal touch of KM12 gin.  A perfect cocktail for relaxing in the sun.
