Overview
Bama Tea (八马茶业) is a Chinese tea company and retailer based in Shenzhen. The supplied Chinese Wikipedia excerpt says the company was founded in 1997 by brothers Wang Wenli and Wang Wenbin, initially under the name Shenzhen Xiyuan Tea Co., Ltd. It began using the Bama Tea name in 1998. The company describes its tea heritage as dating to 1736; this is a heritage claim on its official website and is distinct from the 1997 company founding date reported in the supplied encyclopedia excerpt. The company sells products made from teas in China's six major categories: green, yellow, white, oolong (qing), black, and dark tea. Its assortment also includes tea utensils, tea beverages, and tea foods. The official homepage highlights black tea, rock tea, and Tieguanyin, and states that the company's sales of these three tea categories lead nationwide. This is the company's own promotional claim; the supplied evidence does not provide comparative sales figures or independent verification. Bama Tea is described in the supplied Wikidata excerpt as a tea retailer based in Shenzhen, and in the supplied Chinese Wikipedia excerpt as a family-operated tea enterprise. The excerpt says it went through five listing-application approval processes before receiving Hong Kong Stock Exchange approval in 2025 and listing on the Hong Kong GEM. No ticker, exact listing date, current ownership details, or named current executives are established by the supplied evidence. The official website provides information about the brand, company, franchising, and investor relations.
History
Bama Tea is a Chinese tea company and retailer based in Shenzhen. Its official website says that Bama Tea began in 1736, presenting that date as the beginning of its tea heritage. The supplied Chinese Wikipedia excerpt gives a separate corporate history: the company was established in 1997 by brothers Wang Wenli and Wang Wenbin, initially under the name Shenzhen Xiyuan Tea Co., Ltd. It began using the name Bama Tea in 1998. The available evidence does not explain the relationship between the 1736 heritage claim and the modern company's establishment, so the two dates should not be treated as interchangeable. The company sells products made from all six major Chinese tea categories: green, yellow, white, oolong (qing), black, and dark tea. It also sells tea utensils, tea beverages, and tea foods. Its official website specifically highlights black tea, rock tea, and Tieguanyin, claiming that sales of these three categories lead nationwide. The source does not supply supporting comparative data for that claim. The supplied Chinese Wikipedia excerpt describes Bama Tea as a family-operated tea enterprise and says that it went through five listing-application approval processes as it developed from a private company toward a listed enterprise. It states that the company received Hong Kong Stock Exchange approval in 2025 and listed on the Hong Kong GEM. The excerpt does not provide an exact listing date, ticker, or details of the current ownership structure. The official website includes company information, brand updates, franchising information, and investor relations content.
