I thought it was a loaf of bread with stuff on it. Those leaves look too narrow for tea leaves, and I think I can see something tan underneath that the leaves are stuck to.
Tbf, I'm not American and I've never seen tea like this. I've also been to Japan and Taiwan, including to a tea plantation! Makes sense once pointed out though.
Think this is less 'dumb americans' and more 'niche knowledge'.

Hey, have you seen the artist sunglasses guy on Instagram who does the big folded artwork? Worth looking up if you like the sound.

Mmm. Tea.

You have never had a gift truly wrapped until you have had something random you’ve bought in a department store in Japan wrapped for you.

Yeah, sure. Easy.

This person has done it nine hundred thousand times. By then if it's not easy something is wrong with you.

Well. Today I learned that the random girls at the end of Dragon ball Durag is a group called HAIM.

I cannot express my surprise and delight that no one has (thus far) slapped a shitty blaring song over this. The natural sounds are so nice.

I wonder how often you can do this before repetitive stress injuries become a problem. Two hours a day?

They've done that at least twice.

I guess that's one way to ship a hockey puck.

It’s pu-erh tea, fermented in these cakes. Delicious.

that's not puerh. It's shou mei white tea. They are similarly packed in cakes and wrappers, so I get why you'd think it's puerh
nowittynamehere1
It’s a pu’er tea cake
iamlegendinjapan
Looks like a brick of oolong

Oolong johnson.

Looks more like a brick of ooround
paigezero
Still, better to wrap actual oolong than a cowpat that looks like it.
somnif
Pu-erh I believe
LeYuno
that's a cake of shou mei white tea. Technically not really puerh but it can ben aged to develop the taste.
iamlegendinjapan
I thought I saw the symbol for dragon and oolong is the only one I know that has that character. It's tea for sure
TangentialFlea
You're a brick of oolong. Rude.

Your mom is a brick of oolong.

Yup, she’s made of Da Hong Pao: 20g from one of the mother plants was sold for ¥208,000 (1.386,09$) in 2005.

Thought it was a chocolate cake with chocolate shavings of some kind.
Looked tidy, seemed kind of weird - just put the cake in a box
