Beijing Eight Treasures

Beijing Eight Treasures

　　“Beijing Eight Treasures” refers to eight varieties of traditional Beijing-style pastries with different shapes and flavors, developed based on the imperial pastry “Great Eight Treasures.” The traditional “Great Eight Treasures” are representative of Beijing-style pastries and are famous desserts that originated from the Qing Dynasty imperial court. The “Small Eight Treasures” are smaller in size and lighter in weight compared to the “Great Eight Treasures,” and there is also the “Fine Eight Treasures” with liquor-skin, which uses more refined ingredients and is made with greater delicacy.

　　The newly developed “Beijing Eight Treasures” products combine the craftsmanship of traditional Beijing folk pastries with Western pastry-making techniques. They are made with eight different fillings: rose bean paste, osmanthus hawthorn, cream chestnut paste, pepper-salt sesame, walnut jujube paste, red lotus mixed nuts, goji bean paste, and almond fragrant paste.
