I seriously wonder if there was any reason for making touchas or bricks other than ease of transportation or storage.
Now having a lovely mug of NBT's Assam Moran. THIS is what tea should taste like!

So far there are two out of nine Pu-Erh's that I would order again. One is from TG one is from Rishi so I will end up ordering the TG one, simply because I place large orders from them on a regular basis. I really enjoy the cooked Pu-Erh it has a distinctive, earthy, bold taste that I liked. The uncooked Pu-Erh is boring. I prefer a nice cup of Sencha, Bancha, or Gemaicha.
There is little time involved in making tea. The money seems like a lot when you pay it, at least for me it does. But then I look at my order and realized that I am buying about 15 teas, all 100 gram bags, and that my order will last me 3-4 months. Which means I spend about $35- $50 a month on tea. I am guessing that is pretty close to what many people spend on their soft drinks a month. So not all that expensive.
Now, if you get into the tea pots then you could be in trouble. I have received many tea pots as birthday and Christmas gifts. The one tea pot I bought for myself I bought on a 50% sale and ended up getting 50% off my tea order as well as the tea pot. I actually saved myself money as my total order came out to less then I would normally spend on tea. I even super sized that order when I realized that I would be getting 50% off of my tea.
