Where flavour begins,
each place has a name.
Mountains, water, cities.
The Origins · 山場
Rock bone, floral scent —
a question of geology.
The danxia rock ravines of Wuyi, the sandy soils of West Lake, the high bamboo slopes of Tongmu, the cloud-wrapped altitude of Wudong — every Mulan line begins with the name of a mountain.
In low-mountain tea, the aroma stays in the nose. In high-mountain tea, it reaches the throat. To read the mountain is to read the cup.
The Mountains · 山場圖譜
Mulan Works Only
With Mountains That Have Names
From Yunnan's ancient tea mountains to Wuyi's rocky ravines, from Shifeng's Longjing to Wudong's dancong. Altitude, tree age, batch — each recorded in file; origin written to the mountain and its terroir is Mulan's first standard in choosing tea.
The name of a terroir is where the promise begins.
- 雲南 YUNNAN
Xishuangbanna · Lincang · Pu'er, three great regions — fourteen terroirs and fifteen raw pu-erh teas; tree ages from seventy-year arbor to five-hundred-year ancient single stock.
- 福建 FUJIAN
Wuyi Mountain — Jiulongke, Niulankeng, Liuxiang Ravine, Huiyuankeng, Tongmushan. The source of rock tea and black tea.
- 浙江 ZHEJIANG
Shifeng and Longjing Village, Hangzhou — the core terroir of West Lake Longjing, and the brand's birthplace.
- 廣東 GUANGDONG
Wudong, Phoenix Mountain, Chaozhou — 1,000–1,400 m; Milanxiang, Songzhong, Baxian, Juduozai.
- 頭採 FIRST PICK
Biluochun of Dongting, Suzhou · Ganlu of Mengding, Ya'an · Silver Needle of Fuding, Ningde — where the seasonal pieces begin.
YUNNAN · 雲南古茶山
Tree Age
Is Pu-erh's Capital
Xishuangbanna, Lincang, Pu'er — three great regions, fourteen terroirs. Banzhang's power, Bingdao Nanpo's wildness, Jingmai's orchid scent, Yiwu's softness, Nannuo's sweetness, Xigui's mushroom note, Mansong's honey water — every mountain has its temper.
Sun-drying keeps the leaf alive — to drink now, to keep for years. Vintage, batch, number: all filed in the Mulan Collection.
FUJIAN · 武夷山
What Grows in the Ravines
Is Called Rock Bone, Floral Aroma
Jiulongke — the ravine where the mother trees of Da Hong Pao have always lived, and the source of Signature No.1. Niulankeng and Liuxiang Ravine give Rougui its edge; Huiyuankeng gives old-cong Shuixian its cong scent; deep in the mountains, Tongmu gave Lapsang Souchong and Jin Jun Mei.
Danxia gravel, stream mist. Rock rhyme is not mysticism — it is geology and microclimate, written together.
ZHEJIANG · 杭州
The Mountain of Our Birth
The Origin of Pre-Qingming
Shifeng and Longjing Village, the core terroir of West Lake Longjing. The pre-Qingming picking window is counted in days — one day early and one day late make two different teas.
Mulan was born in Hangzhou. The first mountain was this one.
GUANGDONG · 潮州鳳凰山
The Aroma
Changes Its Temper Every Hundred Metres
Wudong's core gardens sit at 1,000–1,400 metres, in yellow soils weathered from granite. The higher the mountain, the slower the growth, the thicker the leaf, the deeper the aroma settles into the throat.
Milanxiang, Songzhong, Baxian, Juduozai — famous cultivars, names proven again and again.
