Product Description

Tea bricks were traditionally used as a method to transport tea by camels along the Silk Road to Central Asia. Compressed tea retains its quality for a long time. In the West, it is mainly a decorative item for the tea lover who has everything - despite the fact that the tea is quite delicious. Beautifully decorated on both sides, try this tasty, delicate tea as an unusual product for yourself or for the tea lover in your life.

Great tea

By David Bartholomew on November 19, 2010

I bought this tea as a novelty but it really is a good tea. This is the form of tea thrown into the Hudson Bay during the Boston Tea Party and it sinks easily, and it is also the tea the pioneer settlers used in colonial America. It is slightly more flavorful than the usual black tea in bags, and it has a fresh, clean flavor. A brick of tea is very dense and will last a very long time. One section is at least equal to a box of tea bags, so it is a good value if you don't mind the little extra work to brew your tea.

Break the brick into blocks along the serations and from one block scrape off the amount of tea desired for brewing with a cheese grater or a sharp knife and put it in a cup or mug. Pour fully boiling water over it (make that tea pot whistle!) and allow a few minutes to brew. Some tea leaves will float initially but will sink to the bottom if the water is hot enough, especially once it is sweetened with sugar or honey. Happy tea time!

Tea for the class

By Lisa Vizcarra on December 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought it for my 8th grade class so they could see what pressed tea looks like and they could taste it! It did the job.

Though it doesn't come in fancy packaging, it's a great gift, the tea is good and the brick is very attractive.

Good taste and appealing looking product

By Carla on May 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Only issue is that the product is so hard I have to use a hammer and chisel to break it apart. I guess that means more good tea but it's kind of a pain.

A Prep

Coffee doesn't store very long, and my research suggests that bricked tea can be successfully stored for many years. Read more
