Where it grows.

Most of MULD grows in the Nordic north: berries from coasts and hedgerows, leaves, shoots and mushrooms from the forest, dulse from the sea, linseed and buckwheat from the fields. That is 68% of Skov and 81% of Hav, by weight. The tea in Skov comes from Japan.

THE COAST

The dunes of the North Sea and the Baltic.

Sea buckthorn grows wild along Nordic coasts, in sand and salt wind. The orange berries are picked in late summer. After pressing, the skins and seeds are dried and milled. That is what goes into MULD.

THE FOREST

Spruce forests of Sweden and Finland.

For a few weeks in May, the spruce puts out soft, bright green tips. They are picked by hand, dried slowly and milled. They taste green and resinous, with a hint of citrus.
