Mid-Autumn Festival: Moon Cake and White Tea: A Perfect Pairing!

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is full in the sky, symbolizing reunion.

A mellow moon cake carries a thousand years of longing and blessings; while a cup of elegant white tea seems to capture the moon's radiance and the tranquility of time.

When the sweet and rich moon cake meets the mellow and elegant white tea, a complementary and sublime taste begins.

◆ Lotus Seed Paste Moon Cake + Aged White Peony

The classic Cantonese-style lotus seed paste and egg yolk moon cake boasts a delicate and rich filling, intensely sweet, and the salty aroma of the egg yolk adds a depth of flavor.

Paired with a cup of Aged White Peony, the tea's infusion is a bright apricot yellow, its aroma transforming into a rich, honeyed aroma, resulting in a mellow and full-bodied taste. Its mellow flavor perfectly counteracts the sweetness of the lotus seed paste. The sweet aroma of the nectar complements the delicate fragrance of the lotus seed paste, while its refreshing flavor balances out the richness of the egg yolk, resulting in a rich yet balanced overall experience.

◆ Fresh Meat Moon Cake + Old Shou Mei

The fresh meat moon cake is savory, fragrant, and crispy, with layers of crispy skin enveloping the juicy meat filling, a classic savory dessert.

Break a pot of Old Shou Mei tea over ten years old—its age-aged properties impart a gentle aroma of medicinal and jujube-like notes.

The richness of the tea effectively dissolves the fat in the meat filling, while the refreshing aroma resets the taste buds and alleviates the feeling of fullness.

If you choose Shou Mei tea with tangerine peel, the qi-regulating and spleen-strengthening properties combined with the tea aroma further enhance the freshness of the fresh meat moon cake, further enhancing the greasiness-reducing effect.

◆ Snow Skin Moon Cake + Baekho Silver Needle

Snow Skin Moon Cake has a refreshing taste and relatively straightforward sweetness. Fillings often include fruit puree, ice cream, and other ingredients, creating a trendy and refreshing flavor.

Break a cup of Baekho Silver Needle—covered in white hairs, its silvery-white color and refreshing aroma are known for their "hair-fragrant honey notes."

This exquisitely refreshing and elegant style doesn't overshadow the light, fruity aroma of the fruit moon cake.

The tea's refreshing and sweet infusion, like a stream of clear spring water, blends perfectly with the cool, smooth texture of the snow skin moon cake, creating a refreshing and elegant experience.

Moon cake symbolizes reunion and carries sweetness; white tea is a gift from time and a taste of pure joy. This Mid-Autumn Festival, why not take a break from traditional strong tea and brew a pot of white tea for yourself and your family? Let the refreshing aroma of tea dissolve the sweetness of the festival; let the tranquility of tea soothe a restless soul.

Amidst the full moon, sweet mooncakes, and fragrant tea, savor a true Chinese elegance. Let this reunion night be enriched and prolonged with this refreshing cup of tea.
