We are Johari Gin, a distinctly Tanzanian gin, informed by 15 ingredients that create one of the smoothest, and most unique, flavor profiles around. Inputs and botanicals are all sourced within Tanzania and Zanzibar and handcrafted on a Mueller Aromat Potstill. Johari Gin is an attitude; reflecting the optimism of Tanzania embracing modern generational shifts yet remaining grounded in Heritage. Johari means “gem” in Kiswahili, and our botanicals manifest the famous wealth of Tanzania’s natural treasures; inside are agricultural gems, marine gems, mineral and spice gems. That wealth is expressed in the calabash-shaped bottle, as a nod to traditional societies that built modernization without sacrificing community soul. Johari Gin is one gin, of only two, that directly infuses native Procera Juniperus, the sweet, juicy juniper berries found in the Kilimanjaro and Usumbara mountains. Johari Gin’s brand transcends fads, and a bottle of Johari Gin elevates any occasion, whether celebrating a success, or just unwinding after a long day. With a smooth and dewy taste, Johari Gin is the best way to treat oneself.
