Origin of the Base

  • Sichuan is located in the mild and fertile Sichuan Basin, blessed with rich purple soil, mild and rainy weather year-round, and gentle, well-balanced sunlight. These ideal conditions nurture two premium core pepper varieties—Mumashan Erjingtiao and Weiyuan Qixing pepper. Erjingtiao peppers are slender and uniform, with thin skin, thick flesh, few seeds, and a naturally oily texture. Their aroma and heat are mild with a lingering sweetness, and they provide excellent coloring results. Qixing peppers have thin skin, bright red color, a rich and mellow aroma, and a long-lasting heat that does not irritate the throat. Peppers at the Sichuan base are carefully hand-picked in batches, naturally shade-dried to preserve their original aroma, and manually sorted throughout the process to remove defective peppers, ensuring authentic Sichuan pepper quality from the source.

  • Guizhou Base
    Guizhou is located on the high-altitude, pristine Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where mountain forests are isolated from industrial pollution. Clear mountain spring water, slightly acidic sandy soil, and diffused sunlight work together to nurture distinctive peppers with rich layers of flavor. The plump and rounded lantern peppers have thick flesh and a mellow, mildly spicy flavor, making them suitable for preparing ciba chili paste. The slender Erjingtiao peppers deliver a powerful spicy kick and a rich fresh-pepper aroma. Fresh peppers are harvested in batches at different times and dried slowly using the traditional string-hanging method, maximizing the preservation of their original fresh and spicy flavor.

  • Gansu spans the Hexi Corridor and the Weihe River Valley, lying within the golden cultivation belt at 38° north latitude. It enjoys exceptionally long sunlight hours throughout the year, substantial day-night temperature differences, and clean soil and irrigation water from tributaries of the Yellow River. The base specializes in two varieties: Gangu Qicun Red and Jinchuan Red Chili. Qicun Red has thick flesh, a rich but non-aggressive aroma, and abundant oil content, making it an excellent choice for chili oil. Hexi long-line peppers have a bright red color and notably high dry-matter and pigment content. The peppers are harvested mechanically across connected fields, naturally sun-dried outdoors in the Gobi Desert, and manually graded and screened at a later stage, resulting in firm, durable dried peppers.

  • Ningxia Base
    Ningxia is home to plains irrigated by diverted Yellow River water. The terrain is flat and open, the alluvial soil of the Yellow River is rich in organic matter, and the cool, dry northwestern climate limits pests and diseases, providing a naturally green cultivation environment. Core varieties include Helan long-line peppers, Pengyang horn peppers, and Jiuyuehong facing-heaven peppers. Long-line peppers have a straight shape, smooth skin, and a crisp, fragrant, spicy flavor when fresh. Horn peppers are plump and thick-fleshed, with a mildly sweet and gentle flavor. Facing-heaven peppers have a strong aroma and moderate heat. Fresh peppers are hand-picked in batches, air-dried outdoors, and processed without sulfur fumigation to preserve their pure original flavor.

  • The Weibei dryland area of the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi receives more than 2,100 hours of sunlight annually. Its deep, loose loess soil and substantial day-night temperature differences promote the accumulation of oils and capsaicin, making it a core production area for authentic Qin peppers. The main varieties are 8819 long-line peppers and Xingping Qicun Red Qin peppers. They are slender and bright red, with evenly wrinkled skin, rich and oily flesh, a mellow and long-lasting pepper aroma, and vivid coloring without darkening. After the peppers reach full natural maturity, the entire plants are harvested together, laid flat in the fields for drying, and carefully hand-selected through multiple stages to remove impurities and green peppers.

  • Xinjiang Base
    Xinjiang is located in the golden pepper-growing belt at 43° north latitude in northern Xinjiang. The Gobi region enjoys exceptionally long sunlight hours throughout the year, significant day-night temperature differences, and pure, pollution-free snowmelt water. Long-line peppers have exceptionally high red pigment content, bright and translucent skin, and firm, plump flesh. Large-fruited bell peppers have a substantial shape and thick flesh, with a sweet and mildly spicy flavor when eaten fresh. The base uses an integrated process combining manual assistance and mechanical harvesting. After harvesting, the peppers are laid flat and naturally sun-dried in the Gobi sunlight for more than thirty days, followed by centralized mechanical destemming and sorting, ensuring uniform color and stable quality.

  • The Hetao Plain and Kailu production areas of Inner Mongolia are located in a high-latitude cultivation zone in northern China, with abundant sunlight, dry air, pure irrigation water from the Hetao region, and mineral-rich soil. Core varieties include Kailu red dried peppers, Hetao bright peppers, and horn-shaped red peppers. Red dried peppers contain 5%-10% more red pigment than the national average and have a rich, spicy aroma, making them high-quality raw materials for pigment extraction and sauce processing. Horn-shaped red peppers have thick flesh and a regular shape. The peppers are harvested mechanically on a large scale, naturally air-dried outdoors in open fields for an extended period, and sorted and graded through multiple manual stages, producing intact dried peppers without broken skin.

  • Henan Base
    Henan lies in the central heartland of the Central Plains, where fertile and deep soil covers vast alluvial plains. The region enjoys balanced sunlight across all four seasons and more than 20 million mu of contiguous farmland, making it suitable for large-scale pepper cultivation. Central Plains small peppers are small, rounded, and firm-fleshed, with a clean, refreshing heat. New-generation peppers are high-yielding and plump, with outstanding bright-red color. Peppers are allowed to mature naturally and fully in the fields, then the plants are pulled up together and dried locally. After harvesting and drying, they undergo multiple rounds of meticulous manual selection, with strict control over defective and green peppers to ensure stable color and flavor from the source.
