From the hardhats and high-stakes deadlines of the construction industry to the quiet rustle of tea leaves—Clement’s journey wasn’t just a career shift, it was a life-saving rebirth.

Once known among clients as a tireless entrepreneur, Clement secretly battled the physical cost of his success. Years of stress, client dinners, and an “always-on” lifestyle led to a body in revolt: soaring cholesterol, unstable blood pressure, and a liver crying out for relief. When gout struck, it wasn’t just pain—it was a final warning.

His search for healing led him far from boardrooms—to the mist-wrapped tea mountains of China. There, living alongside tea masters, he didn’t just learn about tea—he experienced its quiet, daily restoration. He witnessed how generations had harnessed specific teas not just for flavour, but for balance: to gently lower blood sugar after meals, to soften the edges of stress, to cleanse without harshness. He drank, he learned, and his own body began to reset—naturally, leaf by leaf.

Returned to Malaysia with a renewed mission, Clement founded SHAY. But he didn’t just want to sell tea; he wanted to share the experience of restoration. This led to Bubu Private Tea Space—a hidden garden sanctuary in Seremban where the city’s noise fades, replaced by the sound of pouring water and the quiet wonder of leaves unfurling in a cup.

At SHAY, every tea is a promise of purity: sustainably sourced, whole-leaf, and free from additives. It’s tea as nature intended—a partner in wellness, not a sugary quick fix. Clement’s blends are crafted for the modern Malaysian, offering a moment of calm for the mind and a gentle, natural ally for the body.

Today, through his teas and his tranquil tea space, Clement doesn’t preach—he invites. He offers a cup, a story, and a simple truth: sometimes, the most powerful medicine doesn’t come from a pharmacy. It grows on a mountain, fits in a cup, and has the power to turn a life around—one mindful sip at a time.
