I finally got around to trying a compressed hongcha:
Not great. They are more compact than anything I’ve ever come across before. Even when steeped in 90+ degree water for ten minutes, they don’t fully dissolve, so you get this weak infusion. Much too much work.
That site also briefly had hand-rolled hongcha balls at about 1.5g each, but they are no longer economical for the company to carry.
