Awesome link. Great find.

Pu-Erh is a town. Excellent info. So anything might come
from there, from compressed tea to special implements to
interesting methods.

I like this one.

"This tea was originally used as "bricks" for trade
with bordering countries. Tea was used as money. The
compressed tea was easy to transport, lasted forever, and
was convenient to make tea from by shaving off a portion
to add to the water."

Which means only one thing:

Money does grow on trees.
