A Wuyi Tea Leaf's Journey Across Mountains and Seas

The story of YuYan begins with a family tea making heritage in Wuyi Mountain. In 2005, the fourth-generation heir, Yu Xi Hua, came to Malaysia, bringing tea leaves and a commitment to traditional tea making, continuing a tea connection between the two places. In 2017, the YuYan brand was officially established.

The Journey Behind Every Cup, Step by Step

From cultivation and picking in Wuyi Mountain’s tea gardens to processing, charcoal roasting, sorting, packing and selling, YuYan Tea draws on generations of family experience at every stage.
