Pu-erh tea is typically sold in cakes because of its aging properties. The tea keeps a long time, and actually improves with age, much like fine wine. The secret is that it is fermented. To serve, simply break off a chunk the size of your liking, and safely store the remaining portion of the cake.
One chunk can be used for more than one pot of tea.
