# Tea-Distilled Gins Teasmith is a Premium Scottish Distilled Gin Made with Hand-Picked Tea By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-12-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distilled-gin References: [barmagazine](http://barmagazine.co.uk/scotlands-first-gin-distilled-tea/) & [teasmithgin](https://www.teasmithgin.com/) Teasmith is now being introduced to market as an all-new [distilled gin product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/distillers-strength) that's made with hand-picked tea. The new gin product is a creation from husband and wife team Nick and Emma Smalley, who spent more than a year learning the fine art of distilling. In terms of taste, it is noted that: "The gin doesn’t actually taste like tea – the tea leaves give a unique taste that is light on the palate with a distinct, crisp freshness, one of a kind really. So anyone who doesn’t like tea shouldn’t be put off!" The launch of the all-new [artisan gin product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wildfire-expedition) is being limited to just 560 bottles at Christmastime, although more Teasmith gin is set to be produced in the new year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artisan Distilled Spirits:** The hand-picked tea infused gin demonstrates the trend toward artisan distilled spirits, offering unique flavors and a personalized touch. - **Tea-infused Beverages:** Teasmith's tea-distilled gin highlights the growing trend of incorporating tea flavors into beverages, appealing to consumers looking for innovative and refreshing options. - **Limited Edition Releases:** With only 560 bottles available during the holiday season, Teasmith's limited edition gin showcases the trend of exclusive and highly sought-after products, creating a sense of scarcity and excitement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Distilling:** Teasmith's unique approach to distilling gin with hand-picked tea presents an opportunity for the craft distilling industry to experiment with innovative botanical blends and create a niche market. - **Beverage Manufacturing:** The tea-distilled gin trend opens up possibilities for beverage manufacturers to explore tea-infused spirits, offering consumers new and distinctive beverage options. - **Luxury Liquor Brands:** By introducing limited edition tea-distilled gin, luxury liquor brands can tap into the trend of rare and exclusive products to appeal to discerning consumers seeking unique drinking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exquisite Scottish Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walled-garden-gin.md) - [Tea-Inspired Whiskeys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-macallan-harmony-collection-whiskies.md) - [Ultra-Premium Small-Batch Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tulchan-gin.md) - [Punchy Scottish Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scottish-gun.md) - [Disruptive Craft Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vista-gin.md) - [Flavorful Scottish Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sassenach-wild-scottish-gin.md) - [Fruit-Infused Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grapefruit-rosemary.md) - [Salty Seaside-Inspired Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hendricks.md) - [Limited-Edition Storytelling Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-low-dykes.md)
