Decorative & Distinctive with Metropolitan Tea Large Black Tea Brick

The Metropolitan Tea Large Black Tea Brick Loose Leaf Tea showcases one of the most fascinating traditional forms of Chinese tea. Compressed into a decorative brick inspired by centuries-old Silk Road practices, this distinctive piece offers a visually striking presentation and makes an excellent gift, display piece, or conversation starter. While the supplied cup characteristics mention a lightly vegetative profile with a smooth finish, this tea brick is generally intended for decorative rather than beverage use.

Produced in Hubei Province, China, the tea is compressed in a traditional Silk Road style using Orange Pekoe-grade black tea. Tea bricks have a remarkable history, once prized for their compact form during long-distance trade and even used as a form of currency in parts of Tibet, Mongolia, Siberia, and Northern China.
