This Pu-Erh knife, with a short blade set on a wooden handle, is used to detach the leaves from a compressed cake (beeng cha) without breaking them. The tip is inserted into the thickness of the disc, then lifted gently to take the desired dose. Essential for anyone brewing pressed dark teas, it preserves the integrity of the leaves and therefore the quality of the infusion. A specialised, simple and precise tool, the natural companion of Pu-Erh enthusiasts.
