Brand Story
Lao Xie Shi (Old Xie's) traces its roots to Guizhou Province, with techniques believed to date back to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912), though the exact founding year remains unverified. The Xie family, long-time residents of Guizhou, began as makers of local snacks, gradually perfecting unique recipes. In the early 20th century, descendants expanded the family workshop into a shop named 'Lao Xie Shi,' symbolizing the continuation of ancestral craft. Known for using premium local ingredients and handmade methods, the brand earned a reputation across the region. Culturally, Lao Xie Shi embodies the fusion of Guizhou's multi-ethnic food traditions, often featured in festivals and hospitality, becoming a cherished part of local memory.
