Taiwanese Mooncake
Regular price $29
Also featured in the New York Times, this style of mooncake is our absolute favorite among moon-inspired pastries. Our Taiwanese Mooncake is filled with sweetened mung bean paste that's "not too sweet" and encased in a soft flaky outer dough.
Like all of our pastries, these are made to order. Making the filling is a seven-step process, from rinsing and soaking the mung beans to boiling and sifting them. The dough is hand-layered like a croissant and wrapped one at a time. Its unfussy look understates the effort required – until you take your first bite.
We adore this pastry for its simplicity and deliciousness. Our high-elevation oolongs, Mount Pyrus and Mount Qilai, make for a delightful pairing.
