Who We Are
What makes our products unique?
Experience satisfaction with our ethically sourced products from Burma, adhering to premium quality standards. Our Yellow Cheek Burmese Tea Leaf salad kit is the world's singular edible tea and a convenient, nutritious meal, ready whenever you are.
How did we get our start?
Yellow Cheek Imports LLC was established to fill a significant void. As an immigrant from Burma and an international student in America, I longed for the familiar taste of fermented tea leaf salad, but it remained inaccessible. Our mission is to make Burmese culture more accessible and enjoyed by the global community.
Why do we love what we do?
We are bringing the cultural phenomenon of fermented tea leaf salad to America, introducing a healthy and nutritious food option. Our Burmese tea leaf salad kit is rich in antioxidants, natural caffeine, and protein, making it a great way to start your day. Through our store, you can explore the unique flavors and culture of Burma.
ABOUT OUR NAME
Yellow Cheek represents the people of Myanmar who wear thanakha, a yellow paste known for protecting against UV rays and sunburn. This unique tradition is visible throughout the country.
For centuries, Myanmar residents have used thanakha, a thick paste from ground tree bark, for beauty and sun protection. This cosmetic practice spans diverse ages and backgrounds.
While the exact origins of cosmetics are unclear, evidence suggests early ancestors used pigments up to 250,000 years ago. This quest for self-enhancement continues in Myanmar today.
At Yellow Cheek Imports LLC, we pride ourselves on our products and customer service, with a dedicated team always ready to assist.
