You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Tea is the traditional beverage that accompanies Dim Sum. Most people call the dining experience of eating dim sum and drinking tea "yum cha", which means "drink tea" in Cantonese.

Tea is typically served with dim sum, but not just any kind of tea. Although there are many types of tea that can be served with dim sum, two are more common than others. One of the main kinds is a blend of Chrysanthemum flowers with Pu-erh:

Dim Sum is usually associated with Cantonese culture; in Cantonese, the word for Pu-erh is Bo Nay. Sometimes you will even see Chrysanthemum tea marketed as "Dim Sum Bo Nay Tea".

I've frequently been served Chrysanthemum Pu-erh, and regular pu-erh, with Dim Sum. I've also been served oolong. You can read about these teas here:

But like I said, it could really be any tea. But some types of tea are more common than others. Pu-erh and Chrysanthemum Pu-erh, both from my experience and from what I have read, have been the most common.
