I understand that these claims may sound wild to the layperson, but I am a qualified physician in almost several MMOs, so I know what I’m talking about.

Plot twist: I was drinking pu’erh when I made that post, and having INTESTINAL DISTRESS. I feel better now. If we scientifically extrapolate from this single incident, I’m probably wrong about the Crohn’s Disease thing. Because Crohn’s Disease is stomach problems. This is science, what I just did, get a pen and take some notes.

Tom Hiddleston Really Likes Tea

These are ancient tea bricks—much like modern-day pu’erh—but pressed using powdered tea leaves instead.  These bricks were used as currency for hundreds of years in and around China.  When tea or food was in desperate need they could be used as sustenance, or when trading needed to be done, they proved universal tender.

However, this system created market instability, and prior to their banishment in the early Ming Dynasty, the market collapsed due to an influx of extremely low quality brick.  The first Ming Emperor, Hongwu, outlawed the making and use of these tea bricks, restoring the economy.  Despite this, the tradition continued to evolve into modern day sheng and shou pu’erh, instead using whole leaf tea and aging for many years.
