A Culinary Jewel from Taiwan's Tea Scene

This exquisite castella promises an indulgent experience that goes beyond mere sweetness. It is truly a product worthy of being called 'tea to be eaten'.

Hidden within are notes of bitter caramel, adding a royal depth and contrast to the flavor. The entire dessert is finished with a Bergamot-infused icing that brings a refreshing aftertaste, beautifully rounding off this artisanal treat.
