Yum Cha is a practice, associated with Hong Kong and Cantonese-speaking parts of China, of having tea and dim sum (a variety of small dishes). It's like brunch. I was recently in Hong Kong and had a chance to visit the Lock Cha tea house to enjoy this custom.
See the tea kettle to the side? It's cleverly built into the table.
We enjoyed a yellow tea (top) and a Phoenix oolong (bottom).
The oolong was called "greenish" tea in English.

I am so happy you were able to make time to go here. It sounds wonderful. Tea and dumplings, what's not to love.
I like how the tea kettle was on the table. I've had dumplings countless of times, but have never thought of enjoying them with tea!
That tea kettle idea sounds awesome!
I would definitely want to visit such a tea house. For now, I will just make myself another cup of tea :)
