KUROBI is a Premium tea liqueur crafted in Okinawa, Japan, considered as the "country of the immortals” and the birthplace of martial arts.
The liqueur is distilled and aged by Zuisen Distillery, one of the oldest distillery located on Okinawa Island, and the only one benefiting from the pure water of the Mountain Zuisen.
This liqueur is made with young tea leaves (from the tea tree Isshin Niyo), carefully hand-picked one by one, before being dried on wood fire and macerated in oak barrels with Awamori, a traditional alcool from Okinawa benefiting of a Protected Geographical Indication.
The result is surprising: KUROBI Premium Tea Liqueur has a rich Earl Grey aroma with an elegant smoky aftertaste balanced with a discreet sweetness.
KUROBI Liqueur is a tribute to the remarkable qualities of will, tenacity, and ingenuity that define Okinawa's legendary samurai.
To be appreciated pure, on the rock or in cocktails.
Packaging: 500ml
Alcohol strength: 12%
