Jin-Ja @ Essene Market
719 S. 4th Street Philadelphia, PA
A refined drink-mixer made of ginger, cayenne pepper, lemon, mint and green tea has become more than a compliment for gin and bourbon. Jin-Ja has evolved into a drink that holds its own; it has powerful benefits, like digestion regulation, increase in metabolism and nausea-fighting capabilities. The gingery concoction is a true story of old-fashioned entrepreneurship, culminating in a wildly popular (and delicious!) root-veggie beverage, rooted in Philadelphia’s rich soil.
