==History==
In the early 800s, the etiquette as well as manners of the tea ceremony were already established in the ''Pure Rules of Huaihai'' ({{lang|zh-hant|百丈清規}}) by the [[Tang dynasty]] [[Zen]] master [[Baizhang Huaihai]] ({{lang|zh-hant|百丈懷海}}) (749-814) as well as its transmission to Japan in 1103 in the  ''Zenen Shingi''({{lang|zh-hant|禅苑清規}}).<ref>{{cite book|title=茶の研究|publisher=MUSASHINO GAKUIN|location=Japan|pages=30–31|url=https://www.musashino.ac.jp/mggs/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hakase_shirai_3shou.pdf|author-link=|editor=Enomoto Sachiko|access-date=6 May 2025|year=2023|url-status=live|archive-url=https://megalodon.jp/2025-0506-2210-16/https://www.musashino.ac.jp:443/mggs/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/hakase_shirai_3shou.pdf|archive-date=6 May 2025}}</ref> It is evident that, along with tea, simple nuts and sweets were mainly used as accompaniments to tea, marking the prototype of modern tea-drinking customs which had already been completed. Furthermore, these practices spread as tea-drinking customs in Japan by the early 1100s.<ref>{{cite book|title=お菓子の歴史|publisher=Nakamura Gakuen University|location=Japan|pages=34–35|url=https://www.nakamura-u.ac.jp/~hashimot/members/papers/Vol3/Vol3-6.pdf|author-link=|editor=江藤 詩織, 大穂 舞子, 楢崎 真実|access-date=6 May 2025|year=2023|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012134746/https://www.nakamura-u.ac.jp/~hashimot/members/papers/Vol3/Vol3-6.pdf |archive-date=12 October 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=本の万華鏡|publisher=National Diet Library, Japan|location=Japan|url=https://www.ndl.go.jp/kaleido/entry/25/1.html|access-date=6 May 2025|year=2023|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170622183154/https://www.ndl.go.jp/kaleido/entry/25/1.html|archive-date=22 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|date=2017-01-10 |title=和道　日本文化 心のしきたり 美のこだわり 喫茶の始まりと「書院の茶」！|publisher=Nikkei Business Publications |url=https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/report/15/280393/120900010/|format=HTML|accessdate=2025-05-06 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125030504/https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/report/15/280393/120900010/|archivedate=25 November 2020}}</ref>

The history of the tradition can also be traced back to the period of the Chinese [[Xianfeng Emperor]], who first referred to establishments serving tea as ''yi li guan'' ({{lang|zh-hant|一釐館}}, "1 cent house"). These offered a place for people to sociality, which became known as ''cha waa'' ({{lang|zh-hant|茶話}}, "tea talk"). These [[tea house]]s grew to become their own type of restaurant and the visits became known as ''yum cha''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Tribune|first=Leslie Gourse, Special to The|title=DIM SUM HAS COME A LONG WAY, FROM ESOTERIC TO MASS POPULARITY|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1988-03-13-8802290511-story.html|access-date=2020-08-05|website=chicagotribune.com|date=13 March 1988 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Dim Sum Is the Original Brunch|url=https://www.myrecipes.com/extracrispy/dim-sum-is-the-original-brunch|access-date=2020-08-05|website=MyRecipes|language=en}}</ref>
