What does a mooncake taste like when a luxury tea brand gets to design the whole box? TWG Tea is answering that question this Mid-Autumn Festival with a collection that reads more like a fashion debut than a festive snack lineup.
The brand has unveiled Miss Tea, a limited-edition collection built around twelve tea-infused mooncakes and a new signature tea blend of the same name. It launches on 20 August 2026 and will be available at all TWG Tea Salons and Boutiques in Singapore, but only while stocks last. If you’re the sort who takes Mid-Autumn gifting seriously, this one’s worth knowing about before the good sets sell out.
Meet Miss Tea, the tea behind the collection
At the centre of it all is Miss Tea herself, a green tea blended with pomegranate and rare strawberries. The flavour profile starts with bright berry notes before settling into a softer citrus finish, which TWG Tea describes as the inspiration behind this year’s entire Mid-Autumn theme. The tea comes packaged in a teal and gold tin designed to evoke moonlit skies, and it’s meant to be paired directly with the mooncake sets rather than sold purely on its own.
Two mooncakes in the collection, Jewel and Blossom, use Miss Tea itself as an ingredient, making them the closest thing to a signature item within the wider lineup.
Six snowskin mooncakes worth knowing
TWG Tea’s snowskin range leans playful with its colours while staying serious about flavour. Garnet comes in a bright red shell with Alfonso Tea infused white lotus paste, pomelo, and a mango namelaka cream heart. Blossom, one of the two Miss Tea creations, wraps a blush pink snowskin around white lotus paste, dried longan, and a rose confit centre.
Jade offers a green snowskin filled with Alishan Imperial tea infused lotus paste, gula melaka, and a white chocolate heart with coconut cream, while Miraculous uses a peach orange shell to hold Ti Kuan Yin Imperial infused lotus filling with candied ginger and an osmanthus jelly centre. Rounding out the range, Opal combines coconut tea infused lotus paste with toasted white sesame and a dark chocolate and black glutinous rice heart, and Ember pairs Houjicha infused lotus filling with diced chestnut and a dark chocolate chestnut cream centre.
Six traditional baked mooncakes to try
For those who prefer the classic baked style, TWG Tea brings back its signature Constellation mooncake, featuring brown lotus filling infused with Singapore Breakfast Tea, roasted melon seeds, and a salted egg yolk centre. It remains the most traditional option in the entire lineup.
Newer additions include Illumination, a white lotus paste infused with Pu-Erh 2000 tea and mixed nuts, and Éclat, which uses Chocolate Tea infused white lotus paste with dried cranberries and a chocolate fudge heart. Jewel, the second Miss Tea creation, holds a Miss Tea infused yam paste with a pumpkin pudding centre, while Harvest uses Imperial Jasmine Tea infused brown lotus paste with praline crisps. Eclipse closes out the range with a charcoal crust, black sesame lotus paste infused with Caramel Tea, and a mochi heart.
Pricing and how to get your hands on it
TWG Tea is offering the collection in three formats. A set of four mooncakes paired with Miss Tea goes for 90 dollars, a set of six mooncakes is priced at 70 dollars, and single mooncakes can be purchased individually at 15 dollars each. All sets will be available exclusively at TWG Tea Salons and Boutiques across Singapore from 20 August, and given how quickly limited-edition festive sets tend to move, early planning is probably a good idea if you have a specific set in mind.
Should you try it?
Mooncake season in Singapore usually means a familiar lineup of lotus paste and salted egg yolk, so a collection built entirely around tea pairing feels like a genuine departure. Whether you’re drawn to the nostalgia of Constellation or curious about how Miss Tea tastes when baked into a mooncake, this year’s TWG Tea lineup gives you a reason to try something a little different for your Mid-Autumn gifting.
If you’re planning your mooncake gifts early this year, would you go for the familiar baked classics or take a chance on the new snowskin creations?
