Under the Ming, loose-leaf tea became popular throughout the Celestial Empire, but the inland tribes of Mongolia and Tibet clung to the tastes of former days. The Chinese, who had also evolved the earliest central banking system and were circulating various coins and paper bank notes, found that in commercial transactions with the border peoples their currency had no value. Their ingenious solution to this problem was to make their most valued consumer product, tea, into bricks. This made the tea easy to transport inland where it was used as a form of currency for barter, the reverse side of each brick being scored so that it was easily broken for purposes of making change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe inscription on the front translates CHINA BRICK BLACK TEA, NET 2.5 lb., ZHAO LI QIAO BRICK TEA FACTORY, SHANGHAI CHINA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA descriptive sheet is shipped with each teabrick. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brick measures 7.5\" x 9.5\" x 15\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/files\/icons_-_kosherVeg.png?v=1758209440\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"75\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haelssen \u0026 Lyon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42678284189922,"sku":"T0112","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/products\/a0112_xl.jpg?v=1650653897"},{"product_id":"china-black-yunnan","title":"China Black Tea (Yunnan) - WS","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYunnan, known as the birthplace of tea, is a province in southwestern China that borders Vietnam, Burma, and Laos.
