Yuanyang or coffee with tea (often transliterated according to the Cantonese Chinese pronunciation Yuenyeung, Yinyeung, or Yinyong), also commonly known as Kopi Cham in Malaysia (cham from the Hokkien word mix) is a popular beverage in Hong Kong, made of a mixture of three parts of coffee and seven parts of Hong Kong-style milk tea. It was originally served at dai pai dongs (open air food vendors) and cha chaan tengs (cafe), but is now available in various types of restaurants. It can be served hot or cold. The name yuanyang, which refers to mandarin ducks, is a symbol of conjugal love in Chinese culture, as the birds usually appear in pairs and the male and female look very different. This same connotation of a "pair" of two unlike items is used to name this drink.
Tea mixed with coffee is consumed in Ethiopia where it is known as spreeze.
