FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the differences between Jiu Zhen Nan's Assorted 9-piece Gift Set Types A, B, and C?
Type A includes 3 each of Li Bai, Su Dong Po, and Ming Yue mung bean pastries; Type B contains 9 Li Bai mung bean pastries; Type C includes 3 each of Li Bai and Su Dong Po mung bean pastries, plus 3 salted egg yolk pastries. All three types contain a total of 9 pieces, with the main differences being the types of pastries, flavors, and vegetarian classifications.
Q2: If I want to compare all three types of mung bean pastries at once, which one should I choose?
We recommend choosing Type A. Type A includes Li Bai, Su Dong Po, and Ming Yue mung bean pastries, allowing you to compare the three flavors: fragrant mung bean paste, mung bean paste with braised pork, and mung bean paste with salted egg yolk. It's suitable for those who enjoy traditional mung bean pastries or wish to taste different sweet and savory combinations.
Q3: Which type is suitable for lacto-vegetarians?
Type B, which contains entirely lacto-vegetarian Li Bai mung bean pastries and does not include Su Dong Po braised pork filling or salted egg yolk pastries, is the most suitable choice among the three for lacto-vegetarians. Types A and C both contain meat-based Su Dong Po mung bean pastries, and therefore are not entirely vegetarian.
Q4: If I want a gift set that includes salted egg yolk pastries, which one should I choose?
You should choose Type C. Type C includes 3 each of Li Bai mung bean pastries, Su Dong Po mung bean pastries, and salted egg yolk pastries, allowing you to taste fragrant mung bean paste, savory-sweet braised pork mung bean paste, and red bean with salted egg yolk flavors simultaneously. This type offers a more diverse selection of pastries than Types A and B.
Q5: Are the pastries in the gift box individually packaged?
Each pastry is individually packaged in a transparent bag, making it convenient for sharing one by one at family gatherings, in the office, or when visiting. Each box also comes with a special 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival gift bag, making it convenient for festive gifting or carrying.
Q6: Can I change the flavors or quantities in the gift box?
No. The types of pastries, flavors, and quantities for Type A, B, and C are fixed combinations and cannot be customized or altered. Before purchasing, you can choose based on whether you need a fully lacto-vegetarian box, if you want to taste all three types of mung bean pastries, and if you need salted egg yolk pastries.
Q7: Is the shelf life of all pastries in the box the same? Is it counted from the day I receive the goods?
The shelf life of traditional pastries is calculated from the "production date," which already includes the time required for production and logistics. Therefore, the remaining valid days upon receiving the product will be shorter than the total shelf life. While the expiration dates of pastries in the same gift box are usually similar, due to the different characteristics of each item, please always refer to the latest label on the individual packaging of each pastry or the outer box for the actual expiration date.
Q8: Do I need to refrigerate the assorted gift box? Is it suitable for giving as a gift when traveling abroad?
It can generally be stored at room temperature. Please be sure to place it in a cool, dry place, avoiding high temperatures, stuffiness, and direct sunlight, which can affect the crispiness of the crust and the freshness of the nuts. Additionally, since all contents are baked pastries without meat that can be stored at room temperature, it is generally very suitable as a gift to take abroad. However, international carrying and shipping regulations vary, so it is recommended to check the latest customs regulations of the destination country before purchasing.
