六堡茶与其他种类的茶相比，
六堡茶与马来西亚的关系更为密切。
其在马来亚锡矿开采的黄金时期，
当时许多开采工人都是源自于广东和广西。

Compared to other teas, Liu Pao Tea is more closely
associated with Malaysia. During the golden era
of tin mining in the Kinta Valley in Malaysia, many
workers were brought in from Guangdong and Guangxi.


在锡矿开采时期，许多广东和广西的工人必须在恶劣及
热带高温和潮湿的封闭环境中进行开采工作。
这也导致了许多工人由于恶劣的天气，
封闭的工作环境以及水土不和而经常生病。
之后在健康问题方面，也发现到
广西人比广东人面对较少的健康问题，
这是因为广西人经常把六堡茶当成每天的饮品，
以作解暑的功效。
除此之外，广西人经常喝六堡茶也代表着
自身在异乡思念故乡的方式。
因此，六堡茶早在中马两国之间有着
非常特殊的联系关系。
不仅如此，六堡茶在中国是以贸易商品出口到
东南亚地区而得以闻名，主要是出口至马来西亚。

The mass exodus of migrant workers working in the open
tin mines are often work under harsh tropical heat and
sometime damp enclosed area.
Many of the workers fall sick due to the weather and
working environment condition as well as due to
different food and water condition.
Later it was found that most people from Guangxi has
lesser problem then the Guangdong.
It was traced to the fact that Guangxi people consume
Liu Pao Tea as part of their daily drink.
The Guangxi people also drink Liu Pao Tea as
remembrance of their hometown.
Thus, Liu Pao Tea has a very special connection and
relation between China and Malaysia since the
olden days until now.
In fact it was famous in China for being a trade goods
exported to Southeast Asia, mainly Malaysia.
