Cream Tea
The wildly popular rose lemon tart online comes from a studio in Xitun District, Taichung City. Beyond its eye-catching appearance, the filling is equally impressive. Made with organic, pesticide-free citrus lemons selected by Zolante, these lemons are more fragrant than other varieties—so when made into a lemon tart, the box opens to the fresh scent of citrus. Cream Tea currently operates as a studio, taking only online pre-orders with no in-person sales.
