By drawing patterns(图案) n the surface f a cup f tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent TV drama, has becme ppular fr its clear similarity with mdern latte art(咖啡拉花艺术). Hwever, ten years ag, this special technique was clse t disappearing cmpletely. Zhang Zhifeng, a practitiner f chabaixi,fund scenes f chabaixi in the drama arused great interest amng rdinary peple.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bambs and muntains r even calligraphy. There are ver a dzen steps, frm grinding(碾碎) tea fr fi ne pwder, t puring biled water, stirring the mixture fr thick frth(泡沫), and finally drawing the patterns. It is different frm making latte because peple use clear water as the bject t put int the cup instead f milk. But when the water tuches the surface f whipped(搅打起泡沫的) tea,it turns int a white clr and disappears in 20 minutes. The prcess befre the drawing is knwn as the tea-making technique, diancha. The quality f diancha is imprtant t whether patterns can be successfully prduced later.
“Chabaixi is ne f the cuntless frms f tea-making techniques in China. The imprtance f chabaixi is nt nly that this technique is unique in the wrld, but als it gives us a windw int peple's lifestyle in the SngDynasty, a perid when leisure activities in sme ways resemble what we have nw.”Zhang said.

He started researching the rigins f chabaixi in the 1980s and brught the technique back in 2009 after decades f trials and practice. Zhang spent nearly 30years studying and researching the rigins and making f tea but fr him it was all wrthwhile.
“This technique is key t the tea culture f the Sng Dynasty, and it wuld be a shame t let it fade. This technique must be passed n t the next generatins s they can understand its histry.”Zhang said.
