Why birch sap in the Xing'an Mountains

Your most trusted source of birch sap from one of the last intact forests on Earth Not all birch sap is created equal. It’s not just the sap that makes us special, it’s the soil, the sky, the silence – and the system behind it all.

Xing'an Mountains in Northeast China

Home of the World's Top Birch Trees

In northeast China, there is a land favored by nature - Xing'an Mountains. It is not only one of the most spectacular primeval forests on earth, but also the world's best birch sap production base. We proudly regard this land as our roots, because only here can we find birch trees growing in the purest environment, thus extracting the purest and most vibrant birch sap in the world.

Geographical Advantages

Located in the birch golden belt at 45°–53° (47°–52°) north latitude, the cold temperate climate has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the accumulation of functional active substances.

Natural water source

Annual precipitation is 400-600mm, the water quality is clean and pollution-free, and the forest water circulation system makes the juice fuller and purer.

Mild sunshine

The average annual sunshine is 2400-2700 hours, which promotes photosynthesis, accumulates rich nutrients, and maintains the ecological balance of the tree.

Four-season cultivation

Collect the sap in spring when the snow melts, the nutritional density and flavor reach their peak, and the water source is rich in trace elements (in summer, the roots absorb nutrients, the leaves photosynthesize, and the trunk stores energy for more than 6 months. Before the buds sprout in spring, collect the birch sap full of the essence of the four seasons, when the nutrients are enriched and the activity is optimal)

Zero pollution environment

Far from industry and farming, 0 fertilizer and agricultural residues, natural growth in virgin forests, creating the purest plant-based functional beverage raw materials.

Choosing birch sap from Xing'an Mountains means choosing the taste closest to nature and the symbol of healthy life. No matter where you are, you can feel the freshness and vitality from the Far East by tasting our product.Higher concentration of nutrients + less environmental risks + more stable annual collection volume.We believe that truly good products start from the source.

Ingredient Comparison

Unlike birch sap in Europe and America, which is mainly composed of single phenols, birch sap in Xing'an Mountains has a more complex plant metabolic pathway and mineral circulation system, and naturally contains 60+ plant-based nutrients.

Balancing industry and ecology

high stability + high customization capability

We not only have forests, but also factories. "Sourcebirch" relies on the local factory layout to achieve full process control from raw materials to concentrates and OEM finished products

Unique technology

Golden 6-hour collection + sterilization process (advanced physical sterilization process) to maintain activity

OEM capabilities

support customization of different specifications such as beverage grade, skin care grade, original liquid, compound ingredients, concentrate, etc.

Packaging diversity

From trial bottles to gift box sets, from soft bags to glass bottles, all can be supplied

Strong batch stability

Thanks to seasonal collection + base supporting (thanks to stable forest resources + own collection R&D team + advanced processing technology), continuous delivery is possible

We believe that truly high-quality raw materials come from truly trustworthy land. Relying on 230,000 hectares of natural gifts, we are able to steadily transform the "forest health power" into high-standard industrial raw materials, helping global health drinks and natural skin care brands.Whether you are looking for beverage ingredients, skin care ingredients, or unique cultural materials, birch juice from the Greater Khingan Range can become the soul foundation of your high-end product line.

Sustainability Commitment

We insist on green collection. Each sap-collecting tree is numbered and rotated to protect the ecological balance of the forest. No pesticides are used throughout the process (no human intervention during the entire growth period), and no trees are damaged. Every drop of birch juice is the result of a gift from nature and scientific protection.Explore Sustainable
