Core growing sites that will not come again,
batches you will not meet twice.
Year by year. Lot by lot.
The same tree,
next year's taste
will not be this year's.
The Mulan Archive is built on “vintage + batch + number + provenance + collection + time”: every batch of tea carries a lot number and a picking date; every Unique piece and every single-plant lot comes with its own archive.
Above the collection, access is by appointment. Whenever you come for it, that is the taste you will find.

The Groves · 十五座山場

Fifteen teas, fourteen groves, spanning the three great regions of Xishuangbanna, Lincang and Pu'er — from 70-year big trees to 500-year ancient single trees. Elevation, tree age and batch, recorded item by item; each tea its own 100g vacuum-sealed glass tin, sun-dried to stay alive — to drink, and to keep.
