Was gifted this absolute unit of black tea, but unsure what to do with it? Do I break it up and chuck it in a teapot? I don’t think I even have a teapot anymore!

Gonna need a Sports Direct mug for that cuppa.
Shove it in a bag, then you have tea-bag.
just break off a chunk and add some leaves to a cup with hot water
Eat it like a chocolate bar
Wiki has some info on how to consume it; not sure its worth the hassle

Bath
Resistance is futile. You will assimilate a cuppa.
Tea hash?
Puerh? I hardly know er
I think this is typically drunk as a series of small volume (150-200ml) flushes that are brewed for a much shorter time (15-20 seconds) than we do in the UK. Break off about five or so grams with a screwdriver, pop it in a mug, add hot water, wait, strain and chuck the first flush away (the leaves won’t have opened up properly), then repeat and drink the second flush onwards. The idea is that you can appreciate all the different flavours that come out of the leaves.
grind it line it snort it
