A Chinese printing block

Sorry that the characters will be in reverse. I think it is a printing block. Could anybody tell me what it says? Thank you

It is a block of highly compressed tea. I have one of these and I have it for decoration as the is not the best tea and it looks brilliant so its a shame to break it up.

 

If you look on the back it should have a "Chocolate Bar" look to it, this is where you can break it up easily.

 

If you handle it a bit you will notice it crumbles a bit and you will get fine tea dust in your hand.

 

I would find somewhere dry and put it on display and enjoy looking at it.

Maybe chip a bit off the back first, brew it up and see if you like it.  You might like the flavour more than you like the look.

Haha. It’s a lot at an auction but I’m less inclined to buy a block of tea than a printing block. Thanks for the help. Imagine if I bought it blind and found out at home. I’d be so dissapointed
