With the Mid-Autumn Festival fast approaching, Beijing’s renowned pastry brand, Seventy-two Seasonal Pastry, has unveiled a new dragon-themed mooncake, offering a delightful blend of tradition and taste. This seasonal treat not only satisfies the palate but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of China.
Originating from the imperial kitchens of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Seventy-two Seasonal Pastry has a storied history of crafting bespoke pastries for emperors and empresses. Today, the pastry house continues this legacy by creating traditional Chinese pastries that cater to modern-day consumers while preserving the charm of ancient customs.
The new dragon-themed mooncake is intricately designed, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it features a delicate balance of flavors that pay homage to time-honored recipes. The dragon motif is a nod to the cultural significance of dragons in Chinese mythology, representing power and auspiciousness.
“We wanted to create something that not only tastes exceptional but also embodies the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival,” said a spokesperson for Seventy-two Seasonal Pastry. “Our dragon-themed mooncake is a tribute to our heritage and a gift to our customers who value tradition as much as we do.”
The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, is one of the most important festivities in Chinese culture. It is a time for family reunions, moon gazing, and enjoying mooncakes, which are emblematic of togetherness and harmony.
Seventy-two Seasonal Pastry’s commitment to blending tradition with innovation has resonated with customers worldwide.
