Always\u00a0a\u00a0fan of afternoon tea at The Urban Tea Merchant, I was excited to mix it up a bit with the addition of Moon Cakes and a few extra Asian-influenced items on the platter.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve had to expand the seating into the shop in addition to the tea salon since the tea shop is often busy, but I like the ambiance of the salon, so parked myself there.\u00a0Apparently the Moon Festival is one for families as well as being a romantic one.\u00a0As neither were available I sipped solo and was therefore not quite in the tradition.<\/p>\n<p>I could faintly remember trying a Moon Cake before, but didn&#8217;t think too much of it. They are typically made with a rather bland red bean paste that seems to appeal to those who grew up with it. My early years were\u00a0dominated with Vegemite and baked beans, and these cultural experiences were not included in my childhood culinary education.<\/p>\n<p>The Moon Cakes are made by TWG and shipped out especially to The Urban Tea Merchant. There are four kinds that are all infused with teas. I preferred the Red Lantern with mixed nuts and smooth lotus paste infused with a jasmine and exotic fruit tea. The cakes are rather like a gourmet fig newton in flavour and texture. They serve slices of all four so you can sample the range before picking up some gifts.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"27399\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/moon-festival-tea-service-urban-tea-merchant\/img_6400\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?fit=4380%2C2993&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4380,2993\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS REBEL T2i&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1409660844&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;29&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6400\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?fit=788%2C538&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-27399\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400-300x205.jpg?resize=500%2C342\" alt=\"IMG_6400\" width=\"500\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?resize=300%2C205&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?resize=1024%2C699&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?resize=600%2C410&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?w=1576&amp;ssl=1 1576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6400.jpg?w=2364&amp;ssl=1 2364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Red Lantern Tea is a combination of\u00a0red\u00a0tea and white tea, and has flavours of\u00a0jasmine and exotic fruits and\u00a0fruits and sweet spices.
