Huang Yixiao’s father started learning how to make hot pot base from his master in 2016. After several years of learning, he and his family opened a hot pot restaurant in Chengdu in 2019. The taste and fresh dishes of Hotpot City have left a deep impression on diners.

After the COVID-19 in 2020, the number of diners in Hot Pot City decreased. In order to maintain business, the whole family participated in the operation of Hot Pot City. In 2023, Huang Yixiao was born. Due to the family’s busy management of the hotpot city, Huang Yixiao spent most of his time with his family in the hotpot city, which deprived him of much joy in his growth.

In 2024, for the growth of Huang Yixiao, his father and family returned to their hometown. Huang Yixiao’s mother opened a family hotpot restaurant, and his father returned to the village to use his free time to pick tea leaves and make tea to increase the family’s income.

There are thousands of acres of wild old tea trees on the mountains near my hometown. The locals have a tea making history of over 1500 years, which is recorded in many ancient Chinese books. Because of its wild growth environment, this Chinese tea has become a model of Chinese Laochuan tea. Huang Yixiao’s father’s family goes up the mountain every spring and autumn to pick fresh tea leaves, and then returns home to make them into Chinese tea that can be sold. Due to its natural growth environment, this tea has gained popularity among many people in the local area.

In order to let more people know about Chinese tea, Huang Yixiao’s father learned how to make a website and publish village tea on the Internet. In order to let more people know about Chinese tea and Chinese culture, Huang Yixiao’s father plans to make this website the best tea online store
