Sabah Tea & The Coffee Bean &Tea Leaf

☕NATURE OF BUSINESS OF SABAH TEA🍵
Sabah Tea Sdn Bhd’s origin can be traced back to the year 1976 when the state government of Sabah decided to offer 6,200 acres of land in Kampung Nalapak situated in Ranau,Sabah to Koperasi Desa (KPD) for development. Sabah Tea was then incorporated on April 26, 1978 as a subsidiary of KPD to operate and manage the Tea Garden. Our then Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad officiated the opening of the Sabah Tea Garden on February 19, 1984.

Later in 1987, the Sabah Tea management team decided to form a joint-venture with Tate & Lyle, and Commonwealth Development Corporation. The partnership is seen as a strategy to lighten the burden of the government while tapping onto Tate & Lyle’s tea expertise. However, in 1995, the government decided to privatize Sabah Tea as they believe that by doing so, Sabah Tea would be able to reach greater heights.

An Ipoh-based company, Yee Lee Corporation Bhd (“Yee Lee Corporation”), acquired Sabah Tea Garden in 1997 and since then they have continued to cultivate Sabah Tea into greater success. Yee Lee Corporation was incorporated in 1973 and was listed on the Main Board of The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange in 1993. The company owns a well-diversified business, with active subsidiaries covering manufacturing, distributing and the selling of a wide array of products, both locally and internationally.

The Golden Sabah Tea brew originated from a blend of fine tea leaves from Sabah Tea Garden, which located at the mouth of Mount Kinabalu.

However, there will be also some disadvantages on the use of richness information to attract online customers. First, the slowness and security concerns hinder online shopping growth.

Online sales would be higher and grow faster if retailers and e-commerce companies could improve website speed and ease consumer fears about security. Second, is bad publicity.
