The berries are picked by hand in the highland forest of Kijabe and they give Procera Gin a nuttiness and earthiness unlike anything you will have experienced before.Procerameans tall and these juniper trees are giants each one needing to be climbed to harvest the rare berries. The pickers know when the berries are sweet and ripe because the local baboon family start devouring them they just have to get there first.
