Just In!!
Dragon Beard Candy

Dragon Beard Candy

Some things really are the stuff of legends. Bamboo Garden's Icy-Crispy Dragon Beard Candy is made using a 2000-year old technique first introduced to the imperial court in ancient China.

A skilled candy-maker repeatedly stretches and doubles a small mass of sugar and maltose until over 8000 fine strands are formed. Finally, the strands are trimmed and wrapped around finely chopped, lightly roasted coconut, peanuts and sesame seeds.

The candy, still handmade in the traditional way, has a delicate crispness and melts on the tongue. It has a light sweetness that is well suited for high-quality tea or coffee. Each individual piece has nearly 3000 strands. We recommend chilling the candy before serving for an inimitable icy-crispy sensation.

This elegantly boxed selection comes in either 9 or 18 piece sizes ready for gift-giving.

The Origins of Father's Day

Father's Day

Mother's Day was instituted in the early 1900's, but Father's Day wasn't recognized until much later. Visit Harmony Sweets to learn why politicians were nervous about recognizing this special day and how the third Sunday in June was selected to honor Dads.

Father's Day is next Sunday! For those of us late shoppers, there's still time to get Dad one of his favorite treats -- Chocolate! Harmony Sweets' Father's Day Special is designed just for Dad! Or choose from any of our other taste-tantalizing selections.

To ensure your delectable chocolates arrive in time for Father's Day, all orders must be placed by 5pm PST Wednesday, June 15th to take advantage of low cost priority shipping.

And for more great Father's Day gift ideas, don't forget to visit Harmony Sweets' Villa Market, where you'll find Father's Day Specials from Hickory Farms, Relax the Back, and many other online stores we've hand- selected just for you!

Tips for the China Traveler

China Forbidden 
CityWhen planning a trip to China - think light and compact! Today's China is well-stocked with most personal items you'll need and the prices are very inexpensive. It's much better to buy things as you need them rather than throw them away because you have too much to carry!

Here are some essentials you'll need:

- A sturdy backpack - if you're planning to visit the Great Wall or the Ming Tombs outside of Beijing, you'll be doing a lot of walking. You'll appreciate having a backpack to conveniently carry bottled water and other essentials.
- Clothing - don't bring too much. China has beautiful and inexpensive clothes available that you'll have much more fun wearing!
- Camera - For most people, going to China is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You'll want to capture every moment with a digital camera so that you can stop in at one of the many Internet cafes and send your friends at home photos. A video camera is also an essential. But make sure you purchase the right electrical adaptor for the region of China you'll be visiting.
- Personal ID - most importantly, don't forget your passport, visa, traveler's checks, and airline tickets!

Visit Harmony Sweets to learn more about some of the beautful places in China to visit, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

As you prepare for your trip to China, you'll want to get into the Chinese spririt by indulging in Dragon Beard Candy. This unusal Chinese confection is hand made using a 2000-year old technique.
