Pu'er Tea in different shapes
Size ranges from as small as 100g to as large as 5000g or more, with 357g, 400g, and 500g being the most common. Depending on the pressing method, the edge of the disk can be rounded or perpendicular.
A convex knob shaped tea. Size ranges from 7g to 3000g or more, with 100g, 250g, 500g being the most common. It the name for tuocha is believed to have originated from either the round top-like shape of the tea brick or from the old tea shipping and trading route of the Tuojiang River. In ancient times, tuocha cakes had holes through the center so that they could be tied together on a rope for easy transport.
A thick rectangular block of tea, usually in 100g, 250g, 500g, and 1000g sizes. Zhuancha bricks are the traditional shape that was used for ease of transport along the Ancient tea route in horse caravans.
A flat square of tea, usually in 100g or 200g sizes. Often contain words that are pressed into the square.
Literally meaning "tight tea," the tea is shaped much like a túo, but with a stem rather than convex hollow, quite similar in form to a mushroom. This shape is generally produced for Tibetan consumption, and is usually 250g or 300g.
A shape similar to túochá, but larger in size with a much thicker body that is decorated with pumpkin-like "stripes". This shape was created for the famous Tribute Tea that was made expressly for the Qing Dynasty Emperors from the best tea leaves of Yiwu Mountain.
