TWG Tea’s traditional Chinese mooncakes are available during September at The Urban Tea Market.
Too far past summer for ice-cream indulgences, too early for Christmas goodies… what’s a sugar addict to do? Throughout September, hit the between-season sweet spot at The Urban Tea Merchant, and celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival (Sep. 30) in authentic style. The downtown tea salon and boutique will feature traditional mooncakes by TWG Tea: fragile pastry wrapped around sweet paste filling, with a salted egg yolk buried in the centre. These Chinese delicacies make an offbeat treat for that special someone, even if that special someone happens to be yourself. Stop by The Urban Tea Merchant’s retail boutique and browse a wall of loose-leaf TWG tea for the perfect mooncake pairing, or dine with pinky fingers out in the elegant tea salon.—Karina Palmitesta
