The enchanting beauty of the moon mirrors in still waters, lighting the way as tea clippers glide gently through the ebb and flow of the autumn tide. A new dawn is on the golden horizon illuminated across the ever-beckoning ocean, signaling the onset of a bountiful return.
In the spirit of the mid-autumn festival, TWG Tea refines the classics with the Moon Route Tea Mooncake Collection, a fresh seasonal line-up of delicately handcrafted mooncakes accented with the myriad flavours and aromas of its signature teas to inspire and tantalise tea lovers and epicureans.
Celebrating traditions where tea is served to balance the richness and sweetness of mooncakes, the Moon Route Tea in the Haute Couture Tea Collection® blossoms in brilliant hues of green and gold, the onset of a joyous reunion and bountiful return. Inspired by the glory of a moonlit sky, this subtle and creamy blend of green tea and red fruits is accented by a sweet note of rare citrus which lingers on the palate. A sublime tea to pair with TWG Tea’s curated selection of tea-infused traditional and snowskin mooncakes.
