Dim sums originated in China more than two centuries ago. The evidence of its emergence can be traced to the Silk Trade days of China. As the traders embarked on their long routes of trade, they stopped at tea houses for relaxation. As they enjoyed their aromatic teas, they’d prepare for the journey ahead. Later, tea houses also began serving small pockets of food called dim sum. Soon, consuming dim sum with tea became a custom.
