  Compressed Tea

  

  Compressed Tea, called also Tea Cakes or Tea Bricks are Tea Leaves that were steamed and then pressed into a round shape (or other desired shapes). This method was practiced in ancient China for a few reasons; Tea Cakes were more compact than loose leaf Tea and were also less susceptible to physical damage incurred through transportation over land on the ancient Tea Route. In smaller shapes, Pressed Tea Cakes were also used as a currency. Some high quality Teas age like a good wine and the best way to age Tea, especially Puerh Tea is to press it.

  To make the infusion take small quantities (usually about 2gr) of pressed leaves with the help of a knife or an awl  directly from the cake and then infuse them in the usual way.
