Thank you all, and thanks for the warning. I will probably not try it
because it has Chinese writing on the package. Well, I'm pretty sure it's
Chinese.

Is it possible for you to take a photo of it and post it here? If not
even just some more info on it, like where you got it, how much it
cost, the general shape/look, etc. I wasn't trying to talk you out of
it completely just from your initial brief description... I was
talking about the display/decoration compressed teas which are
inexpensive and are obviously coated/varnished. You may have real
compressed tea which is edible, it's just that you need to be a bit
careful because it really could just be decorative. I'm sure that
someone here could probably even translate the writing on it, which is
always neat and adds to the personal attachment. What I had been
trying to say initially is that if it is questionable and without us
knowing more, I personally couldn't in good faith tell you to shave
some off and brew it.

I understand and appreciate the warning...it does look somewhat 'old'...but
not shiny.

Sorry, no picture, I'm technologically challenged.

It was a gift from a neighbor who was leaving for a tour of duty in Iraq, so
I don't know anything about it. It was in a box of many different teas. I
did ask 'what's that?' and she said 'block tea.' It's an almost black
rectangular flat block...with star designs and Chinese (?) characters on the
package.

If nothing else, my crazy friend said give it to him, he'd chew it like
tobacco!
