This is the Gen Z confirmation that the chismis is legit. It's like saying 'Ayan, 'yan 'yung chika!' or 'So 'yun pala 'yon!'. It's the sound of a Marites getting her daily dose of information validated. 'Ah, so nag-break na sila? Tea yarn!'
Combination of English slang 'tea' (gossip) and a stylized form of Tagalog 'iyan' (that). Popularized on social media.
