I concur Danny, this is a $15 decorative brick here in the US
(http://shopstashtea.com/111999.html) that they hang on teahouse
walls. Hehe, for $15k you don't even get the whole brick!

Hence my repeated warnings about NOT buying Puerh from TaoBoa or eBay
UNLESS you really know what you are doing. I would not even consider
buying aged tea this way unless I had a personal relationship with the
vendor.
