Taiwanese Pineapple Cake
Regular price $28
A fond food memory for every Taiwanese, the Pineapple Cake is a culinary symbol for the island and a staple in local bakeries. These golden cubes of pineapple goodness are made with sweet and tart pineapple jam encased in a soft buttery pastry. They were the original inspiration for our Pineapple Linzers and the OG tea snack we've always wanted to make to pair with our tea. After a few years of trial and error and a substantial amount of sampling and research, we are finally ready to showcase these little cubes of joy.
The word pineapple shares the same phonetic sound as the word prosperity in local Taiwanese or Chinese Hokkien dialect, making this delicious treat the perfect food gift in well wishes and abundance.
Eight pieces in a box, we are packing in an extra bit of luck to send off these tasty treats.
For tea pairing, we suggest our family of roasted tea. Try the Frozen Summit or the Mount Ali and let the nuttiness of roasted oolong enhance the buttery pastry. We hope you enjoy!
