Russia's "pivot to Asia" means that Russian consumers' tastes are changing. This organic "White Tea Jasmine" vodka, a flavor combination often associated with China, is produced by JSC Bashsprit in Ufa. Reviews describe it as having a "fresh, light aroma, a wonderful taste, and soft vanilla notes." The picture shows a bottle I bought at a local supermarket. Other Asian herbs and spices are also beginning to influence Russian cuisine, and today's consumers are more open to experiencing new tastes and flavors. We'll be exploring new Asian-flavored products available in local supermarkets and recommend more of these new products here.
