Description

Antique tea tablets, specifically in the form of compressed tea bricks, have a rich history tied to ancient Chinese trading practices.

They were a common form of tea before the widespread use of loose leaf tea, particularly for trading and preserving tea leaves. These compressed teas were often used as currency and were more durable than loose leaf during transport.
