The Bitter Tea of General Yen (sh. Gorki čaj generala Yena) je američki crno-bijeli nijemi film snimljen 1933. u režiji Franka Capre. Po žanru je melodrama, a temelji se na istoimenom romanu Grace Zaring Stone. Protagonistica, koju tumači Barbara Stanwyck, je američka misionarka koja dolazi u Kinu pogođenu građanskim ratom kako bi pokušala spasiti djecu iz sirotišta. Radnja prikazuje kako je u tome ispočetka spriječava bezobzirni pobunjenički general (koga tumači švedski glumac Nils Asther), ali koji se na kraju u nju zaljubi.

The Bitter Tea je poznat kao prvi film prikazan u prestižnoj njujorškoj dvorani Radio City Music Hall. Usprkos toga je doživio komercijalni neuspjeh, što je većina kritičara tumačila rasističkim predrasudama tadašnje američke publike, odnosno njenim odbijanjem da prihvati ljubavne veze između pripadnika različitih rasa. Zbog toga je The Bitter Tea brzo zasjenjen mnogo uspješnijim Caprinim populističkim komedijama, i tek mnogo godina kasnije su ga počeli hvaliti kritičari. S druge strane, dio modernih kritičara je Capri znao zamjerati orijentalizam i slične negativne stereotipove u prikazu Kine, kao i odluku da orijentalni lik tumači bijeli glumac pod šminkom.
