At Hubert & Partners, we believe creativity shines brightest when it bridges worlds. This Mid-Autumn Festival, we’re sharing a piece of Vietnamese culture with our international partners — not as a tradition frozen in time, but as a creative offering that speaks across borders. Tết Trung Thu, or the Mid-Autumn Festival, is a celebration of unity, abundance, and reflection. Marked by the brightest full moon of the year, it’s a moment for pausing, gathering, and giving thanks — values that resonate far beyond Vietnam.

A Gift That Reflects Our Philosophy:

To mark the season, we’ve designed a mooncake gift box for our global clients and collaborators. But this is more than a seasonal treat — it’s a reflection of the way we work: intentionally, thoughtfully, and always in dialogue with culture. At its heart is a simple message: “May the moon find you well”. Just as the moon is a constant presence across the skies — seen from different continents, but always whole — we believe creative partnership can thrive across time zones, languages, and industries.

A Flavorful Dialogue: Vietnam in Two Mooncakes:

This year’s mooncakes highlight two distinct ingredients that represent both heritage and creativity:

  • Taro: A cherished root vegetable in Vietnamese cuisine, taro is earthy, velvety, and comforting. Its naturally purple hue adds a sense of elegance while embodying nourishment and tradition — a reminder that creativity, like flavor, can be both grounding and inspiring.
  • Chocolate Coconut: A modern pairing that nods to Vietnam’s tropical ingredients while appealing to global palates. Rich, smooth, and gently sweet — it reflects our philosophy of blending the familiar with the new.

The mooncakes are paired with Oolong, a semi-oxidized tea known for its floral aroma and layered, toasty notes — offering a refined balance to the mooncake’s richness and adding a cross-cultural dimension that deepens the box’s message of harmony.

Partnership, Shared at the Table:

For us, sharing mooncakes isn’t just about gifting — it’s about expressing our values: thoughtfulness, collaboration, and a sense of creative generosity. Every project we undertake with our clients begins with mutual understanding. Every box we send carries that same spirit. Whether you’re enjoying this gift in a quiet moment or sharing it with your team, we hope it brings a sense of connection — one that mirrors how we approach partnership itself.

Looking Forward:

While the Mid-Autumn Festival is rooted in tradition, our gaze remains on the future. We see this moment not only as a celebration, but as a quiet promise: that creativity can continue to cross boundaries, illuminate new paths, and bring us closer — even from afar.

From all of us at Hubert & Partners — Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
