Huai'an Tea Crisps is a geographical indication certification trademark.

　　   In Huai'an, tea crisps are a well-known delicacy among both adults and children. Huai'an tea crisps were created in the late Qing Dynasty and have a history of over a hundred years. At that time, the person who made the best tea crisps had the surname Yue, so they were also called "Yue Family Tea Crisps." Additionally, because the Yue family’s residence was close to the Drum Tower in Huai'an City, some people also refer to them as "Drum Tower Tea Crisps."

Tea crisps can be eaten dry or soaked in water. When eaten dry, they are mostly served as a small snack to accompany drinks, while when soaked in water, they only need to be steeped in boiling water for a few minutes until fully softened and then can be eaten. Soaked tea crisps are soft, chewy, fragrant, easy to digest, and especially suitable for new mothers and those who are weak or ill.
