NaytanDova Posted January 11, 2018 at 04:35 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 at 04:35 PM Sorry that the characters will be in reverse. I think it is a printing block. Could anybody tell me what it says? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:26 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:26 PM It is a block of highly compressed tea. I have one of these and I have it for decoration as the is not the best tea and it looks brilliant so its a shame to break it up. If you look on the back it should have a "Chocolate Bar" look to it, this is where you can break it up easily. If you handle it a bit you will notice it crumbles a bit and you will get fine tea dust in your hand. I would find somewhere dry and put it on display and enjoy looking at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:42 PM Maybe chip a bit off the back first, brew it up and see if you like it. You might like the flavour more than you like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaytanDova Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 at 05:45 PM Haha. It’s a lot at an auction but I’m less inclined to buy a block of tea than a printing block. Thanks for the help. Imagine if I bought it blind and found out at home. I’d be so dissapointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
