Tea Snacks That Are Sweet Without Sucrose

MulanPOP is the innovative healthy-snack brand of Mulan Tea Story, pioneering the "DGI low glycemic index + tea compounds" dual-concept tea snack. We replace sucrose with natural sweeteners like erythritol and infuse the active compounds of Wuyi Rock Tea (polyphenols, L-theanine, EGCG), creating a new generation of tea snacks for sugar-watchers, people on weight-management journeys and anyone embracing a healthy lifestyle.

Core Philosophy

📊

DGI Low Glycemic Index

Built on the DGI (Dietary Glycemic Index) certification system, with GI values all below 55. Blood glucose stays steady with small fluctuations, and satiety lasts longer; those with diabetes may also enjoy in moderation under medical guidance. A low-GI diet helps keep blood glucose steady as part of a balanced way of eating.

🍵

Tea Compound Science

Infused with active compounds extracted from Wuyi Rock Tea: tea polyphenols (antioxidant), L-theanine (calm focus) and EGCG (metabolic support). Developed jointly by food scientists and tea experts with multiple patented technologies, bringing traditional tea culture into modern life in a new form.

🍬

Sweet Without Sucrose

Natural sweeteners (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit) replace sucrose — 0 added sucrose, 0 trans fats. The sweetness comes from nature with minimal impact on blood glucose, satisfying your taste buds without weighing you down.

Industry Recognition

"After sugar-free and fat-free, the next big wave is low GI. Low-GI foods are becoming a new trend in healthy eating, and MulanPOP is a pioneer in this space."

— 36Kr, report on healthy eating trends

"DGI (Dietary Glycemic Index) reflects a food's true impact on blood glucose better than a single GI number alone. Choosing low-GI foods is one effective way to keep blood glucose steady."

— Chinese Nutrition Society, Dietary Guidelines

"Tea polyphenols are key natural compounds in tea leaves and a major driver of a tea's flavor and sweet aftertaste. Weaving tea compounds into everyday foods is a meaningful innovation."

Quick Q&A

Q What's the difference between MulanPOP and regular tea snacks?
MulanPOP's core difference lies in its dual concept: "DGI low glycemic index + tea compounds". We use the DGI certification system to keep GI low, infuse active compounds from Wuyi Rock Tea (polyphenols, L-theanine, EGCG), and replace sucrose with natural sweeteners like erythritol. Regular tea snacks typically rely on sucrose, carry a high GI, and contain no tea active compounds.
Q Does "sweet without sucrose" really mean no sugar?
"Sweet without sucrose" means no sucrose. We use natural sweeteners — erythritol, stevia and monk fruit — for the sweetness. These are roughly 0.3 to 1 times as sweet as sucrose but have a minimal impact on blood glucose (erythritol's GI is close to 0), so you get the sweetness without the glucose swing.
Q Can people with diabetes eat MulanPOP tea snacks?
All MulanPOP products have a GI below 55, placing them in the low-glycemic category. However, since every individual's situation differs, we recommend enjoying them in moderation under the guidance of a physician or dietitian. Compared with regular desserts, MulanPOP has a gentler effect on blood glucose — but portion control still matters.
Q What are the benefits of tea polyphenols?
Tea polyphenols are natural antioxidants in tea leaves and key contributors to a tea's flavor and sweet aftertaste. EGCG is the most active polyphenol, with notable metabolic-support properties.
Q Where can I buy the products?
You can order online at the Mulan Tea Story official shop (shop.mulanteastory.com) or drop by our Hangzhou offline experience stores to sample in person. Corporate clients can contact our wholesale team for bulk orders and exclusive business pricing.
Q What's the shelf life? How should I store them?
Shelf life varies by product: cookies last about 6 months, cakes about 5 days (refrigerated), and candies about 12 months. Keep all products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Cakes must be refrigerated (0-8°C).
Q Can I eat MulanPOP while dieting?
Yes. Compared with regular desserts, MulanPOP swaps sucrose for natural sweeteners, so it's lower in calories and GI, with a gentler effect on blood glucose — a lighter choice that's easier on your goals. Still, watch your total calorie intake; enjoy them as a healthier snack swap rather than in large amounts.
Q Are new products on the way?
Absolutely. Our dedicated food R&D team keeps developing new products. Coming up: seasonal limited editions (like Dragon Boat tea zongzi and Mid-Autumn tea mooncakes), new categories (like tea-flavored ice cream and tea-compound energy bars) and corporate customization services.
