Brand Story
Founded in the late Qing Dynasty (late 19th century) in Henan, Shengtian Agriculture Century Noodle Workshop began when founder Shengtiangong used premium local sweet potatoes and ancestral techniques to create handmade vermicelli. Through a meticulous process of washing, grinding, settling, and sun-drying, his noodles became renowned for their clarity and smooth texture. The second generation, Sheng Jizu, refined the craft by introducing stone milling. By the Republic era (1912-1949), the workshop had expanded, selling products across nearby counties. After 1949, it underwent public-private partnership, but the family continued the tradition. In the reform era, the fourth generation, Sheng Mingyuan, revived the brand, blending ancient methods with modern management. Today, the workshop remains a living testament to local farming culture and dietary memory, carrying the century-old fragrance to the world.
