welcome to tea forum, please introduce yourself
is there fibrous material in there, or does it mostly all dissolve? at first i assumed it was cha tou (ripe puerh), but maybe it's some kind of "instant tea"?

It looks like "sui yin zi" or so called Silver nuggets , but look at it closely It's more like the Cha Gao - puerh paste. You can get shu or sheng , usually pressed into the small bricks or balls size of 0.5- 2g. There are also bigger sizes available , like chocolate bar.

thank you everybody, the tea if remains in infusion does not open itself, you can see some small shuttered minimal place if I try to divide it then you get some crumbles if is wet
it looks as this or this other one https://thecaravantea.com/products/tea- ... shou-puerh
but I do not know, I have not idea, first of all I have concern if is an healthy thing to eat. I have really limited puerh experiences and this although has a fermented taste, does not taste at all as codfish as usually my not premium puerh have been so far.
I am really enjoying this taste, initially remembers you a Japanese Hojicha but then the smell you hear coming up from the cup takes over, is strong but not fastidious, even a small retrotaste. I really like that as soon as I put water ( I am experimenting 85 but do not know if is ideal) immediately you see some brown fluid coming up from these "capsules" so it needs 4 minutes at least to acquire a light brown color. I am just really confused, I will try to randomly buy whatever thing looks like that, but still, it is healthy to drink? Thank you very much and impressed by your knowledge! A guy told me is a tea according to him coming from Menghai, but cannot find any information on the internet, and still I am confused, just I am doubting could be cha gao, as it looks much more compact this cha gao. while mine looks more at the pictures I sent. I thinkoi aet has a point and could be this silver thing. Nice forum!
