Brand Story
Lühai traces its origins to Jiangxi Province, a region renowned for its rich natural resources and deep culinary traditions. Historical records indicate that as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), local artisans practiced food-making techniques similar to those used by Lühai today. The brand name, meaning 'green sea,' symbolizes the lush ecology and abundant produce of the region, reflecting the local reverence for natural ingredients. While no specific founder is documented, Lühai has evolved through generations of family workshops, perfecting methods such as cold-pressing tea oil and naturally fermenting pickled vegetables. In modern times, the brand has balanced tradition with innovation, becoming a representative of Jiangxi's regional flavors. However, due to limited historical records, early details and key figures remain to be further researched.
