About Tarata

Tarata, sometimes known for its naturally lemony character, offers a native expression of brightness that differs from straightforward citrus peel. It can feel green, resinous, and lightly spiced while still lifting the aromatic profile. In gin, tarata is especially useful for building a New Zealand sense of freshness without relying solely on imported citrus structure.
