The small candies I ate as a child in Taiwan are called hawthorn cakes! The origin of Taiwanese hawthorn cakes is said to date back to Tainan. Doctors observed that after patients consumed Chinese medicine, the bitter taste lingered on their tongues for a long time, causing some patients to refuse medication out of fear of bitterness. Therefore, they developed hawthorn cakes with a sweet and soothing taste, alleviating patients' aversion to Chinese medicine.

The plum-shaped candies are a nostalgic memory for everyone who visited the doctor as a child. We have incorporated plum essence into the traditional hawthorn cakes to add a pleasantly sour and sweet flavor without the burden of bitterness.
