Western Market turned into 1930’s Shanghai for the night.
Digeo and Shui Jing Fang Distillery threw a party to introduce their new creation to the world in Hong Kong. Premium vodka, Shanghai White is the product of a collaboration, the first of its kind between Diageo and Shui Jing Fang, producers of premium baijiu. Sheung Wan’s Western Market was turned into classic 1930’s Shanghai filled with Cheongsam-wearing hostesses and pinstriped zoot suit men throwing dice at gambling tables.
Shanghai White is crafted using Russian vodka making techniques mixed with Shui Jing Fang’s 600 years of baiju (白酒) distilling knowledge to create a new vodka taste. The Shanghai White bottle is a piece of art in itself. The bottle is adorned with cherry blossom flowers and 1930s Art Deco imagery of old Shanghai on the indented hexagonal water well shaped bottle bottom. This well pays tribute to the well of the legendary 14th century Shui Jing Fang distillery that is said to produced the most pristine water for brewing high quality spirit.
Shanghai White will be available initially in Hong Kong at the Intercontinental Hotel, Landmark Mandarin, Tonic and the W Hotel.

Bistrotea brings their innovative tea portion of design to town.
Forget those soggy teabags and teapots with the tea-leaves, Bistrotea introduces a new way to enjoy your tea. The Tpod stands for “Tea Portion of Design’, it is simply a very cool designed perforated stick filled with tea that you can drop in hot or cold water and twirl the stick around to make your tea.

Bistro tea are made from Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka and comes in a variety of tea types and flavours, like Vanilla Peach Red Tea, Lemon Grass Green Tea and Apple Cinnamon Black Tea.
It’s really quite a cool way to have tea without any fuss. They come in canisters of 16 or 25 and are available at City Super, Three Sixty and the Holiday Inn Delicatessen.
