Formed teas have been manufactured and enjoyed in China for millennia. Originally designed for ease of transport, these pressed wonders have been hauled over the Himalayas on foot, carted to Russia on camels and hauled into Mongolia on ponies. In recent years, these rare teas have been having a resurgence in popularity, Pu-erh in particular. In China, some exceptionally rare pu-erh recently sold at auction for tens of thousands of dollars per cake.
