RWS Signature Snow Skin Mooncakes and Premium Teas Set
Receive a boost of vitality with the fragrant Green Tea with American Ginseng Snow Skin Mooncake (西洋参绿茶冰皮月饼).
Purposefully crafted with dried American ginseng, candied walnut and silky green tea paste, this immunity-boosting combination helps to nourish qi, clear heat, invigorate spleen and increase physical and mental strength.
Pairing with this mooncake is the delicate White Peony 白牡丹, a mildly fermented, low-caffeinated white tea with a pleasantly sweet profile that complements the natural sweetness of the green tea paste.
The tea is lightly processed to retain high levels of antioxidants and anti-aging properties, ensuring radiance with every sip.
Nourish your health with the milky white Shui Xian Oolong with Osmanthus and Longan Snow Skin Mooncake (桂花龙眼水仙乌龙冰皮月饼). A naturally sweet and multi-layered treat, this mooncake boasts a suite of ingredients, such as premium Shui Xian, Osmanthus, dried longan, almond, pine nuts, walnuts and house-made white lotus seed paste.
Grapeseed oil, which is known for lowering blood cholesterol levels while reducing risk of heart disease, is also infused into the mooncake to further promote cardiovascular health.
Originating from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, the Aged Narcissus 陈年水仙 tea with a lush honey aroma is the perfect juxtaposition to the light floral scent of the Osmanthus mooncake.
Also comprising health benefits, this bright amber full-bodied Oolong tea has properties known to enhance weight loss, strengthen teeth and combat skin aging.
A beautiful addition to any dessert table is the calming blue Butterfly Pea Flower with Organic Cereal Snow Skin Mooncake (有机燕麦蝶豆花冰皮月饼).
Handcrafted with organic cereal and premium milk custard, this luscious mooncake helps strengthen the immune system and fight inflammation with its antioxidant-rich butterfly pea flower that also promotes collagen production to improve skin elasticity.
Paired with this snow skin mooncake is the widely-loved Pu-er 普洱 tea that has equally as many health benefits. This Yunnan originating tea helps to regulate blood fat levels and cholesterol, while improving mental alertness.
As a fermented tea, the Pu-er has a bolder flavour profile that effortlessly cuts through the creaminess and saltiness of the salted egg yolk in the mooncake.
The final addition to the new RWS Signature Snow Skin Mooncakes and Premium Teas Set is the rosy pink Cherry Blossom with Yuzu Snow Skin Mooncake (柚子樱花冰皮月饼). A beauty boost powered with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, this mooncake is an alluring treat fit for a queen.
A burst of floral and citrusy notes with every bite, this mooncake features velvety white lotus seed paste, premium dried persimmon, dried rose petals, sunflower seeds, and fresh yuzu. Natural Sakura powder is also incorporated to tinge the mooncake in a soothing pink hue.
Pairing with this is the Imperial Golden Cassia 御用黄金桂, a lightly fermented tea with flowery Osmanthus-like aroma that uplifts the elegant flavour profile of the Cherry Blossom with Yuzu Snow Skin Mooncake. Fun fact: this tea was also served to Queen Elizabeth ll during her visit to China on 10th October 1989.
Available for orders from 5 August to 19 September 2021, the RWS Signature Snow Skin Mooncakes and Premium Teas set retails at S$128 nett per box of four pieces, each encased in a regal purple paper packaging and tucked in an earthy beige corrugated board box in autumnal brown tones, variegated with iridescent motifs of peonies.
This eco-friendly and recyclable packaging is specially made from FSC-certified paper and corrugated board that is fully recyclable. Add on a special price of S$138 nett for an exquisitely hand-painted Asianera Bone China set, perfect as a gift for family, loved ones, clients, and business partners to enjoy.

Containing 43% bone ash processed and refined through long periods of high temperature firings, Asianera’s bone china of the tea pot flaunts a delicately smooth and ethereally creamy white colour with excellent translucence and durability.
With a full sphere atop a stable square base, the design is inspired by the classic Chinese saying, “The heavens are round and the Earth is square (天圆地方)”. Both teapot and teacups are hand-painted with gold Gingko leaves, paying homage to the resilient gingko tree, known as a living fossil that symbolises hope and peace.
