An Artisanal Gin That Puts Shanghai, China on the Global Craft Spirits Map Unlike countries like the UK, the United States, and Germany, China isn’t widely recognised for their gin — neither for making it, nor drinking it. The drinking scene in China is dominated by beverages like baijiu, beer, and rice wine. Hence, there’s a prevailing perception that mainstream spirits labelled as ‘Made in China’ couldn’t compete with international brands and similar counterparts. Peddlers Gin Company, which proudly stakes its claim as the world’s first Shanghai Gin, aims to challenge that notion.

Unlock the Secrets of Tea: Mastering the Elements As tea enthusiasts, have you ever wondered what gives your favorite brews their distinctive flavors, aromas, and characteristics? Mastering the art of tea goes beyond simply steeping leaves - it requires an in-depth understanding of the core elements that shape each cup. 🌱 The Variety: From robust black teas to delicate white teas, the tea variety plays a pivotal role. Each type undergoes different oxidation levels, shaping unique flavor profiles. 💧 The Water: The mineral content and temperature of the water used can either elevate or diminish the tea's essence. Finding the perfect balance is crucial. ⌛ The Steeping Time: Over-steeping leads to bitterness, while under-steeping results in a weak brew. Timing is everything for extracting the ideal flavors. 🌎 The Terroir: Like wine, a tea's terroir (the environment it's grown in) leaves an imprint on its taste. Soil, climate, and altitude contribute unique notes. By grasping these fundamental elements, you can unlock the true depth and complexity of each tea variety, enabling you to brew the perfect cup every time. Tea enthusiasts and professionals, I invite you to join the conversation and share your own insights, experiences, and wisdom about mastering the art of tea. Let's embark on this flavorful journey together! #teaknowledge #teamastery #teacommunity #teaeducation #teaexcellence #teaeducation #teaexpertise #teaappreciation

According to the IWSR, Sotol, the small but growing agave-adjacent spirit has the opportunity to harness the immense popularity of tequila in the United States while carving out its own identity as a distinct artisanal spirit. Sotol is a distilled spirit made from the Dasylirion plant. Its production is similar to tequila but has a distinct flavor profile. Much more aromatic than tequila and not as smoky as Mezcal. “A large share of sotol produced in Mexico is exported – over 60% is consumed in the US. There are much smaller shipments to markets such as the UK and Spain, but for most of the world, sotol remains largely unknown, so the opportunity for category expansion is huge.” Learn more about Sotol’s potential at https://bit.ly/474BmV1.

The World Siphon Kettle competition at the Pu’er Expo in Yunnan. One of many barista competitions popping up across China. One thing I’ve observed these last few days is how creative chinese coffee professionals are. As the previous generation weren’t coffee drinkers many of the entrepeneurs starting coffee businesses are starting from a blank slate. I’ve been served a huge array of drinks: from beverages combining both espresso and filter coffee, to coffee which has steamed over jasmine tea. Most of these beverages are not to my taste. However, they illustrate how brands are trying to capture the consumers interest and stand out. Aside from the third wave cafes here which offer familiar light roasted micro lots, coffee here is an incredient and not a stand alone beverage.
