Finally decided to open my first brick of puerh. This is a Haiwan Shu Puer brick from Phoenix Tea. I stabbed myself with the knife twice but thankfully didn't draw any blood or inject staph or tetanus into myself. I think. I figured maybe I wasn't doing this right so I looked at a video where they make it look very easy. Oh, I can do it, I thought.
In the end, the video lady ended up with a very neat piece of tea to place in her cup and her tea brick still looked beautiful. I have a brick that looks like it's been unceremoniously chipped at with a rock and a little pile of tea powder suitable for fine-meshed tea bags. It better taste good or ... or ... I'll do what? Run from the evil brick??
I hate puerh.
Somehow I think a tea needle wouldn't help me much here. If anything I could end up looking something like this (stolen off the internet at some point).
