This year’s Starbucks Mid-Autumn gift set designs are themed “Moonlight Play Through Window Shadows.” Traditional Taiwanese craftsmanship artisans were invited to create unique window-pattern designs for each Mid-Autumn gift set. Various shapes of window frames are paired with meaningful “window patterns.” The moonlit scenes seen through the window patterns symbolize reunion and festive gatherings. This year, the collection includes mooncakes, egg roll cookies, coffee beans, and pudding gift sets, offering a total of 23 diverse gifting options. Prices start from $360 up to $2,280, and pre-orders are now open until August 31, with a free friend-sharing offer included.

This year, Starbucks unveils a luxurious new gift set, the “Moonlight Treasure Box,” crafted with premium ingredients from both East and West to deliver a rich and festive flavor. It introduces the “Cheese Truffle Milk Custard Mooncake,” which encases Italian truffle porcini in a rich Parmesan milk custard core—intense and distinctive. Meanwhile, the “Oolong Cocoa Heart Milk Custard Mooncake” features a crust made from finely ground Taiwanese oolong tea, offering an elegant and lingering Mid-Autumn taste. This year also sees the addition of rum raisin sandwich cookies, with cake-like soft textures and a melt-in-your-mouth richness that delivers a surprisingly mature flavor.

This year’s newly launched “Moonlight Sonata” focuses on the best-selling heart-filled mooncakes, introducing the “Whisky Heart Milk Custard Mooncake,” which combines the smoky and spicy notes of single malt whisky with the deep flavor of milk custard. There’s also the “Chocolate Heart Milk Custard Mooncake,” featuring a slightly bitter, rich chocolate crust wrapping around the milk custard filling, and the crispy “Dark Caramel Butterfly Crisp.” Every bite delivers a sophisticated adult flavor. The gift box design features a cross-shaped Ruyi cloud window pattern, symbolizing sincere wishes for peace and good fortune.

The “Moonlight Elegance” gift set this year newly introduces the “Toffee Mocha Crunch Ice Cream Cookies,” with espresso ice cream drizzled with toffee sauce, mixed with chocolate chips and cookies for a sweet and delicate taste. The “Strawberry Blueberry White Jade Ice Cream Cookies” blend romantic strawberry ice cream with cranberry crumbs and blueberry pieces, creating a colorful visual treat along with the QQ white jade hidden in the ice cream, offering a multi-layered surprise in texture. Also available are the “Rum Raisin Ice Cream Puff” and “Honey Whisky Ice Cream Puff,” perfect for enjoying the cool delights of autumn.

The “Moonlight Garden” this year extends from cranberry white mocha beverages into the “Cranberry White Mocha Mooncake,” along with the “Tieguanyin Sesame Mooncake,” which combines the enticing aroma of sesame with the mellow fragrance of Tieguanyin tea. Also featured are the “Honey Cake Crisps” and “Earl Grey Tea Madeleines,” delivering a truly rich feast. The gift box packaging features crabapple and small floral window patterns, paired with the fresh morning frost and warm orange hues, symbolizing the beautiful blessing of blooming flowers. It’s also a must-have Mid-Autumn gift option.
