Coffee & Sesame Fortune -

咖啡给芝麻开门

Yunnan coffee & toasted sesame gianduja with salted caramel crystals

Southern tropical Yunnan Province, with its perfect fertile high altitude climate conditions, has emerged as a top producer of specialty high-quality aromatic Arabica coffee beans. This Yunnan single origin coffee is known for its distinct flavor profiles, full body, mild acidity, and notes of chocolate, nuts & floral undertones. While a new phenomenon in China, the “land of tea”, coffee culture has come to symbolize the modern lifestyle & the emerging middle class’ energy & prosperity.

Used in Chinese cooking for over 2,000 years, sesame seeds, with their round shape, golden color, and the way they expand when fried, symbolize prosperity, good luck & growth, conveying that every small effort & accumulation in life will eventually bring rich rewards.

Guangxi King in Xinjiang -

甜辣广西王

Guangxi macadamia & Xinjiang sweet chilli vanilla praline

Due to their premium quality, indulgent sweet, creamy taste & high nutritional value Macadamias are known as the ‘King of nuts’. Their round shape symbolises unity, good fortune & prosperity. Here I use macadamias grown in the ideal subtropical climate of China’s southern Guangxi province.

Different to most chilli peppers, the protected Qitai Snow Peppers from the mountains of China’s western Xinjiang province are naturally sweet with a mild spiciness that blends perfectly with the smooth buttery richness of the Guangxi macadamia nut & vanilla praline.

Tingling Vitality -

麻辣长生果

Sichuan pepper “mala” peanut praline

Used as love tokens, a symbol for passion, and used in Chinese cooking for over 2,000 years, Sichuan pepper is a central ingredient to one of the 8 great regional Chinese cuisines (八大菜系). Experience the intoxicating, lemony, perfumed electric tingle of this unique ‘numbing’ (嘛) pepper.

In Chinese medicinal theory, peanuts help replenish qi & counteract fatigue, increasing vitality & prolonging life, thereby taking on the name of Longevity nuts ‘长生果’. Peanuts have thus become a token of joy, abundance & energy.
