Default compressed tea in chinese

Yes, there are words to mean compressed tea in Chinese. But the
translation below is incorrect. I wouldn't trust bablefish or any
online translator. They all give really muddled results.

This actually means "concentrated tea" or "condensed tea".

For compressed tea, you want these characters:
紧压茶

In Pinyin it's jin ya cha.
