Latte art (拉花艺术) is not only for coffee. “Painting” in tea is the Chinese intangible     1     (culture) heritage that uses ground tea as raw material and uses water to make tea soup change patterns.

Cha Baixi or painting on tea soup, can be understood as     2     extreme tea culture that was popular in the Song dynasty. Cha Baixi was first seen in the Tang dynasty, and it was popular among the literati (文人墨客) and     3     (write) of the Song dynasty who had adequate food and clothing and a stable life.
