Our Botanicals

Hand-picked from millennium trees in Lebanon, our fresh juniper berries are at the core of our recipe.

Known for its distinct flavor profile and aromatic properties, our high-quality za'atar sourced in Lebanon adds a unique twist to our gin.

The subtle notes of fig leaves contribute a delicate sweetness that complements the botanicals, creating a harmonious blend.
