In July of the same year, Xi Mini, a subsidiary of Xi Tea, also launched bottled sparkling water, but the business of bottled beverages was not easy. On October 15, Xi Tea "Xi Xiaocha bottling Factory" removed one of the peach oolong bubbles from the shelves. All of them were recalled and destroyed, with a cost loss of millions, and then re-adjusted before they were put on the shelves again.
