Someone from the UK gave this to me at a science fiction convention. His wife is from China and drinks it (but I did not think to ask where she got it). It's a small tea block the size of a thumbnail, just big enough for one cup, in a nylon bag.
I have seen (and liked) the little hochiao tea blocks that are just the size for one pot, but this is even smaller and the bag is curious. Has anyone seen one of these and can identify them?

Do you think you could get a better photo than that? A couple of the characters are hard for me to make out.

I haven't seen it, but it looks tacky. The label says ?? which seems to be a play on words for "pu-ke" meaning a deck of cards; taken from the English 'POKER'
Compressed puer teabags. The other side reads "aged aroma", and natural original leaf.
Ah, Poker — I *knew* they couldn’t have intended the unhyphenated word you get from the Pu3 and Ke4 characters.
