Surely, everyone has come across or seen nougat at someone's home! These delightful bites bring sweetness, chewiness, peanuts, and milk – every day with Nougat is a feast. Nougat has many siblings: French Nougat, strawberry, and avocado

They're beloved for using top-quality ingredients with no preservatives. Sugar & Spice Nougat exclusively uses natural butter from the Normandy region of France and Calmondni Almonds. Due to its natural origin, the milky aroma (from butter) may fade over time, and hardness can change with external temperature. It may become firm and easily cracked when stored at low temperatures. Don't worry, its taste remains unbeatable.

You can purchase these items from Sugar and Spice at No.357, Sec. 3, Wenxin Rd., Xitun Dist., Taichung City 407, Taiwan (R.O.C.). If you're nearby, hurry up and grab a few boxes for yourself, and there's no hassle when you bring it to the airport.

The Alishan mountain range hidden deep in Chiayi County is not just a picturesque spot 'so deep,' but also where these fragrant tea leaves are harvested.

Alishan Tea is an oolong tea with a delicate aroma of orchids, fruit, and cream, surely delighting tea enthusiasts! The tea leaves should be steeped in ideal hot water between 90-95°C for nearly perfect infusion.

We think if you miss out on trying the butter, you'll regret it.

Known as Tai Yang Bing, the Sun Biscuit originates from Taichung and is a round sweet biscuit with a condensed sugar crust, often sold in gift boxes. Most people enjoy tasting them with Chinese tea, while others prefer dissolving them in hot water for a warm dessert!
