Many moons ago, tea was pressed into bricks; for ease of transport, for currency, for storage and preservation. With time, production styles changed into the loose leaf we enjoy and this custom has fallen into the area of Puerh production and novelty. These tea bricks could be brewed but are best used as an esoteric gift to the tea lover who has it all, or for decorative use in the home. Dimensions: 4.5" x 7" x .75".
