Fenjiu baijiu launches online education series

08 April, 2020

Cheng International, UK distributor of Fenjiu baijiu from China, is launching an eight-part livestream series on baijiu aimed at buyers and bar tenders working in the drinks industry.

The new series #AtHomewithFenjiu is designed to educate people on baijiu and the first session will take place on Friday, 10 April.

Cheng International introduced Fenjiu baijiu to the UK 18 months ago and has gained listings in premium retailers including Harrods and Selfridges, and in luxury on-trade establishments including China Tang at The Dorchester, The Stratford Hotel and The Ivy Asia.

The eight-part series will include an introduction to Fenjiu, a masterclass on how to drink Fenjiu, a cocktail class, food-pairing session and a cooking lesson with Fenjiu.

Qiqi Chen, managing director of Cheng International said: “The UK drinks industry is one of the most exciting and dynamic in the world. Our range of baijiu is proving popular with luxury retailers and on-trade establishments who are keen to offer their discerning clients something unique. 

“Fenjiu baijiu has made great inroads over the last year and we wanted to offer this new online series to help explain a little more about this wonderful drink and how it is not only the perfect neat serve, but also the base for great cocktails and an excellent match with different foods too.”
