Taizi Imperial Baijiu

A New Zealand-made baijiu bringing together traditional Chinese spirit-making influences with ingredients sourced from New Zealand and Australia.

Taizi Imperial Baijiu is a distinctive New Zealand interpretation of one of China’s most historic spirit styles. Produced in Christchurch, Taizi brings Chinese baijiu traditions together with ingredients and provenance from this part of the world.

The spirit is produced using New Zealand wheat and Australian sorghum, with pure spring water sourced from New Zealand’s Southern Alps. This combination gives Taizi a clear connection to both its Chinese inspiration and its New Zealand home.

Taizi Imperial Baijiu offers a bold and aromatic drinking experience. The flavour profile features bright berry notes followed by liquorice and subtle herbal characteristics, creating a complex spirit suited to sipping and exploring beyond more familiar Western spirit categories.

The brand describes Taizi as the world’s first Western-made baijiu, reflecting its aim of introducing the traditions and distinctive character of baijiu through a New Zealand-made expression.
