How to Craft Elevated Cold Brew & Craft Cocktails with Nature’s Original Elixir
In the remote Xing’an Mountains of Northeast China, where snow still blankets the forest floor, a quiet miracle begins.Deep within the ancient birch trees, sap starts to rise—clear, slightly sweet, alive with minerals and natural vitality.For centuries, the Oroqen people have honored this moment, tapping the trees with reverence, taking only what is given.Now, this rare spring elixir—wild-harvested, organic birch sap—is no longer just a forest secret.It’s your secret ingredient for elevated drinks that taste like nature itself.
☕ Birch Sap Cold Brew: Not Just Coffee. A Ritual.
Forget water.
Replace it with birch sap, and transform your cold brew into something uniquely smooth, naturally sweet, and deeply complex.
The sap’s delicate sweetness—like dew on pine needles—harmonizes perfectly with bright, fruity coffee beans (think Ethiopian Yirgacheffe or Kenyan AA). No sugar needed. No bitterness. Just a clean, rounded sip that feels both refreshing and nourishing.

10 parts chilled birch sap
