Tea bricks are perhaps one of the most unusual forms of processed tea in the world. The origin of the brick is rooted in the ancient spice trading routes of the 9th century. Traders moved everything they had by camel or on horseback so all goods had to be designed to take up as little space a possible. Tea producers wishing to export their product devised a way of compacting processed tea leaves by mixing it with stalk and tea dust and then pressing it tightly into forms and drying them in the sun. Prior to the Russian invasion of Tibet before World War II, it was reported that in preparation for the conquest, the invaders bought up all of the available tea bricks. They felt that by controlling the tea supply, they would be able to also control the people who relied heavily on it. Although tea bricks are less commonly produced in modern times, many post-fermented teas, such as Pu-erh, are still commonly found in bricks, discs, and other pressed forms. Tea bricks can be made into beverages or eaten as food, and were also used in the past as a form of currency. Due to their density and toughness tea bricks were consumed after they were broken into small pieces and boiled while traditionally in Tang Dynasty, they were consumed after they have been ground to a fine powder. Most people nowadays like tea bricks simply for their humble aesthetic display qualities. These tea bricks make a fantastic gift and are also a great visually striking conversation starter.
