The glossy pink-purple packaging stands out on the shelves

When you tear open the package, you'll be greeted by the faint scent of peach

The round, pink shape is reminiscent of a peach. You can tell just by looking at it that it's moist. It's soft enough to bend slightly when you hold it between two fingers

The aroma and flavor of peach is prominent when you put it in your mouth. The sable has two layers, a crumbly outer layer that melts in your mouth, and a slightly sticky, smooth inner layer. The difference in texture when you bite into it is interesting. The white chocolate brings the whole thing together, and it's sweet, but not too sweet, giving it a refined taste. It's a treat that you'll definitely want to enjoy with tea

The whole thing is very soft, so everyone from children to seniors can eat it without worry. (Please check if you have allergies.)
