Inception and Early Years
In 1999, our journey began with a vision and a deep appreciation for the ancient tradition of edible bird's nest. The founders of our family business committed to sustainable harvesting practices and a passion for quality. Initially harvesting edible bird's nests from specialized farmhouses, they learned about the delicate life cycle of swiftlets and the art of sustainable production. They had began selling their harvested unprocessed edible bird's nests to manufacturers in Indonesia, laying the groundwork for what would become our legacy.
Growth and Expansion
From 2004 to 2013, we embarked on a journey of growth and expansion, driven by our dedication to excellence. Progressing from harvesting to manufacturing, we took the bold step of producing clean edible bird's nests and offering white labeling services for various bird's nest companies in Singapore and Hong Kong. Despite facing multiple challenges in optimizing processes and navigating import/export requirements, we persevered and emerged successful, cementing our reputation for quality and reliability.
Expansion into the United States
From 2014 to 2023, we set our sights on expanding into the United States, determined to introduce the East Asian delicacy of edible bird's nest to the Western world. Despite stringent manufacturing and importation requirements imposed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the US Department of Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) entities, we remained undeterred. During this time, the concept for our brand, 天龍 (Tiān Lóng), meaning "heavenly dragon," emerged. Tian Long exemplifies our unwavering dedication to producing products of exceptional quality and importance, forging ahead with steadfast commitment to both innovation and excellence, thus laying the groundwork for our brand's success.
New Beginnings with Tian Long
In June 2024, we are marking the beginning of a new chapter with Tian Long's manufacturing of premium bottled bird's nest soup right here in the United States. It was the culmination of years of dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to our craft. At the dawn of a new beginning, our journey takes a fresh turn, signaling our continued pursuit of excellence and our steadfast commitment to bringing the ease of reach to the finest quality bird's nest products to connoisseurs in the United States.
