Baisiwei Team Conducts Market Research on Tea Beverages in Russia

From September 16th to 19th, the Baisiwei team carried out a three-day market research trip in Russia to gain insights into 

the local tea beverage industry. At the Russian Food & Beverage Exhibition, we explored a variety of established beverage 

solutions and visited the popular local chain Drink Point. While their product standards and taste profiles may not fully align 

with the preferences of Chinese consumers, they are well-received by Russian customers—once again confirming that 

“what suits the local market is what works best.”

We also visited several Chinese-style milk tea shops, including the consistently reliable Met Tea, as well as tea stores around 

Moscow University. Although some of their products are quite popular, constraints in ingredient supply and staff training 

have kept the overall standard somewhat behind that of China’s tea beverage market.

During the visit, our team also demonstrated at local restaurants how Baisiwei’s Fruit Tea Fusion Kit—which includes fruit 

jam on one side and concentrated jasmine tea on the other—can easily be used to prepare a variety of drinks, such as fruit 

tea smoothies, fruit tea soda, fruit tea vodka, and fruit milk tea. The fusion kit was highly praised by restaurant operators 

for its convenience, efficiency, and consistent flavor. One owner mentioned that preparing beverages previously required 

sourcing numerous ingredients—such as syrups, tea leaves, fruit juices, and jams—but due to varying skill levels among staff, 

drink quality was often inconsistent, and material waste was significant. Baisiwei’s Fruit Tea Fusion Kit has provided them 

with a new solution, improving not only the consistency of their offerings but also enhancing inventory management and 

cost control.

Finally, we met with clients who have built successful tea ingredient wholesale businesses in Russia. They expressed that with 

the growing presence of Chinese products in the Russian market, visiting China in person to discover high-quality new products 

has become increasingly important. Our visit was therefore a welcome and encouraging opportunity for them.
