Everything from classic durian to banoffee, XO sauce and Georgian melon flavors.
Packaged in a gorgeous mint green box celebrating Banyan Tree's 25th anniversary, these mooncakes are pressed with a tree logo, shaped in a wooden mold and then baked. Boxes hold two or four cakes and come in two shades of green. Flavors include durian, lotus seed, walnut, jujubee, and mixed grains and herbs. Unique to Banyan Tree are cakes filled with sweet and salty XO sauce.
