The history of Chinese tea art, known as "Cha Dao," dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). Initially, tea was used for medicinal purposes, but it soon became a popular beverage. The Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) saw the refinement of tea preparation and presentation techniques. During the Ming (1368-1644 AD) and Qing (1644-1912 AD) Dynasties, tea culture flourished, incorporating elaborate rituals and artistic elements. Today, Chinese tea art symbolizes elegance, philosophy, and a deep cultural heritage.
