September 22nd is the Chinese Moon Festival that celebrates the full moon and the end of harvest. This is a celebratory time of year as the crops have all been gathered and the heavy work in the fields is over. This is one of the most important celebrations in Chinese culture. Families gather on this special day when the moon is at its brightest and roundest of the entire year to enjoy moon gazing in the garden with mooncakes and pomelo slices.
Mooncakes are a Chinese Pastry filled with Lotus seed, red bean paste or golden salty yolks in the middle representing the full moon. We will be hosting a mooncake and tea tasting in our showroom on Wednesday, September 22 to get everyone inspired the nighttime event. You can find these delectable little cakes in almost any Chinese bakery at this time of the year.
