If a cup of tea can be the beginning of a brand,
then can a building
become the entrance to that world?
We wanted to try.
So MULAN MAISON · HANGZHOU came to be.
We did not conceive of it as a larger tea shop.
A space truly belonging to MULAN TEA STORY® should hold more than products.
It should have tea.
Objects.
Art.
Culture.
Encounters between people.
And the technology and experiences of today.
Tea needs a place to be drunk with care.
Objects need a place to be seen and touched.
Art needs space.
Encounters between people need time.
So for a cup of tea, we made a Mulan Maison.
Glass forms the boundary between the building and the city.
By day, the city enters the glass.
By night, the building becomes a beam of light in the city.
GLASS OUTSIDE. TEA WITHIN.
The city outside, the East within.
To walk in here is not to leave the city.
It is to enter another kind of time within the city.
F1 / TEA
Back to the cup of tea itself.
Beginning with tea, to know the origin of Mulan’s vision of Eastern living.
F2 / TEA & COFFEE
The East and the world meet at the same table.
The stillness of tea.
The wakefulness of coffee.
They need not replace each other.
F3 / TEA & SPIRITS
When night arrives,
tea begins another expression.
Tea into spirits.
To the distance.
And to the return.
Beyond this, the space will also belong to objects, art, exhibitions, brand works, private tea sittings, cultural experiences, and encounters between people.
MULAN BOUTIQUE
So that tea, gifts, objects and limited works are seen in a way closer to jewellery, fragrance and works of art.
MULAN TEA ROOM
Leave the city outside the glass.
In the time of one tea sitting, treat yourself, and treat the encounter.
CULTURE & EXPERIENCE
Let an ancient story enter into relation with today again.
We hope that people who come here in the future will not merely “finish visiting a shop”.
But will truly step into the world of MULAN TEA STORY®.
It is not just a Mulan shop.
It is a physical entrance to the world of Mulan.
One cup of Mulan tea, one Mulan Maison.
MULAN MAISON · HANGZHOU
Go far. Return to yourself.
