Folding Memories & Creativity
into Every Crumb.
From a three-generation spice legacy in Taiwan to a micro-bakery in California. Flavorfold is a sensory tribute to my roots — where wild Asian botanicals meet the living complexity of natural leaven.
Begin the Flavor Journey ↓Our full laboratory of experimental varieties. These flavors step back each week to make room for the batch — they remain part of the canon.
A blind-box tasting of Flavorfold's weekly rotation. 2–3 slices are drawn from this week's available batch. The remaining 2–3 are the baker's mystery selection — flavors you won't know until the box is in your hands. Limited to 8 boxes per week. One per person.
Stone-ground black sesame is pressed from toasted unhulled seeds. The slate-gray paste it yields is nutty and deep — oxidized, earthy, and nothing like pale tahini. Used to swirl, marinate, and anchor flavor across the entire loaf.
Rose enters the lab two ways: as rose water — a few drops, steam-distilled from fresh petals — and as gulkand, a slow sun-cooked preserve of rose petals and raw sugar. Each form carries a different weight. The line between floral and perfumed is one calibration error.
Maqaw (馬告) is a wild mountain pepper harvested by the Atayal and Seediq peoples of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range. Citrusy and floral, it builds into a slow numbing warmth. The pepper at the center of fifty years of family trade.
From the seeds of the Elettaria cardamomum plant — the variety that perfumes South Asian chai and Nordic pastry. Used whole-pod or freshly ground at the lab. The moment it hits heat, it opens. Pre-ground is not an option.
High-temperature pan-roasting transforms premium green tea leaves, stripping away bitterness to unlock a comforting, amber-hued warmth. Ground into a microscopic, charcoal-gray powder, it brings a savory toastiness — intensely nutty, deeply woody, and nothing like raw matcha. Used to dust, infuse, and steep a calm, roasty backbone into the slow-fermented crumb.
Top-tier black tea leaves are deeply steeped and oil-scented with cold-pressed Italian bergamot. The aromatic blend yields a fragrance that is fiercely botanical and bright — citrus-forward, sharp, and nothing like a standard breakfast tea. Used to macerate, steep, and perfume the dough with an unmistakable, high-toned floral elegance.

Come to Agnew Rd between 1pm to 4pm. Bread's still warm. Coffee's usually on.
In my family's factory, every stem and seed had a purpose. I carry that no-waste philosophy into the lab today. Sourdough discard is not a byproduct — it is a primary ingredient, re-spun into shortbread, breadsticks each week.
Our weekly pre-order window opens every Monday at 12:00 PM and closes on Thursday at 9:00 PM. Because we bake in micro-batches with extended fermentation, quantities are strictly limited. Once we hit our capacity for the week, the order form will automatically close.

For the absolute best tasting experience, do not refrigerate. Instead, slice the loaf completely, wrap it tightly in plastic or foil, and freeze it. When you are ready to enjoy a slice, do not defrost — take it straight from the freezer and bake or air fry at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes until the crust sings.
Note: Exact temperature and time may vary slightly depending on your oven or air fryer model.
