Tea Bricks, Toucha, Cakes & Pods
 A tea brick is literally composed of tea pressed into a rock solid brick. These wonders of the tea world are extremely popular in Tibet. Individual brewing instructions will be included. Tea bricks also make a unique display item, an interesting addition to tea-themed gift baskets or a one-of-a-kind gift on their own.
Formed teas have been manufactured and enjoyed in China for mellennia. Originally designed for ease of transport, these wonders have been hauled over the Himilayas on foot, carted to Russia on camels, and hauled into Mongolia on ponies. In recent years, these rare teas have been having a resurgence in popularity, Pu-erh in particular. In China, some exceptionally rare pu-erh recently sold at auction for tens of thousands of dollars per cake.
