Brand Story
Chuhe originates from Hubei, a region that has been the cradle of Chu culture since ancient times. From the 8th to the 3rd century BC, the Chu state flourished here, giving rise to a splendid civilization and a vibrant food culture. The name 'Chuhe' evokes the rivers of the Chu region, symbolizing a long and enduring legacy. While the exact founding year of the brand is yet to be officially confirmed, it is said to have evolved from a small workshop in Wuhan during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China (around the 1900s), famous for its traditional pastries. The key figure was founder Mr. Chen, who inherited his ancestors' skills and combined them with local ingredients to create a range of beloved foods. Over a century, Chuhe has adhered to traditional methods while integrating modern techniques, aiming to spread the culinary culture of Jingchu. Its products not only carry local memories but also serve as a bridge of taste connecting the past and the present.
