Tastien Partners With "A Bite of China" for Mid-Autumn Bamboo Craft Gift Box and Short Film
Tastien has teamed up with documentary series "A Bite of China" on a bamboo-craft Mid-Autumn gift box, a short film, and a DIY social media series.
Chinese burger chain Tastien (塔斯汀) has partnered with documentary series A Bite of China (舌尖上的中国) on a multi-part campaign spanning a Mid-Autumn Festival gift box, a short film, and a social media DIY series, promoted across social media channels.
The centerpiece is a limited gift box timed to Mid-Autumn Festival on September 27, 2026. The box is built around bamboo weaving craftsmanship: its lid features a bamboo-woven moon, and contents include a bamboo-woven wind chime, a pair of bamboo-woven cups, and mooncakes. The campaign theme is "hold the reunion cup and listen to the wind song by moonlight."
Alongside the gift box, Tastien and A Bite of China produced a short film for Chinese New Year focused on traditional Chinese noodle-making craftsmanship. The brand also launched a social media series called "Tastien's Handmade," offering DIY tutorials that repurpose the brand's own packaging materials as crafting supplies.
The partnership layers intangible cultural heritage aesthetics — bamboo weaving, traditional noodle-making — onto a fast-food brand's seasonal marketing, using the documentary series' cultural authority as a credibility signal. The "Tastien's Handmade" tutorial series extends the campaign's reach by inviting user participation, turning packaging into creative material rather than waste. A comparable approach to pairing food brands with craft and cultural heritage can be seen in Luckin Coffee's (瑞幸咖啡) Suzhou embroidery-themed intangible cultural heritage campaign, which similarly used a traditional craft identity to elevate seasonal marketing for a mass-market beverage brand.
