Walk into almost any home or coffee shop in Malaysia and you will find tea in some form. Chinese immigrants brought their tea habits from Fujian, Guangdong and beyond, and those traditions mixed with local tastes over the generations.

Many cups, one region

• Highland tea: Malaysia grows its own tea in cool highland areas such as the Cameron Highlands, mostly made into black tea.
• Coffee-shop classics: milky “teh” and the theatrically poured teh tarik are everyday favourites.
• Dim sum and yum cha: pu-erh, tieguanyin and chrysanthemum tea are common partners for dim sum.
• Gongfu at home: many families keep a small tea tray for oolong and pu-erh, especially among Teochew and Hokkien communities.
