Jieshou Chenxilou Tea-flavored Dried Tofu

Last updated 2026-11-08 — The five-spice tea-flavored dried tofu from Chenxilou in Jieshou, Gaoyou, has long enjoyed an outstanding reputation. Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed through Jieshou and caught the enticing aroma wafting from the shore. He ordered his attendants to investigate, only to discover it was the fragrance of boiling five-spice tea-flavored dried tofu. After tasting it, Emperor Qianlong highly praised it. From then on, Jieshou’s tea-flavored dried tofu was listed as an imperial tribute and gained fame far and wide. In 1927, it won the first prize at the West Lake Exposition. Jieshou tea-flavored dried tofu is flat and round in shape, with a soy-sauce-red hue, tender yellowish meat that resembles chicken in texture, and a fragrant, delicious taste. The five-spice tea-flavored dried tofu under the “Chenxilou” brand is exquisitely packaged, making it an excellent gift for family and friends. (Gaoyou)
