Tea bricks have been used as a means of currency from the 9th to the 20th century in China, Mongolia, Tibet, Central Asia and Russia. The bricks were mainly produced in Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan provinces, southern China. They were made in various forms and sizes and transported by yaks or camels caravans. Being compact, easy to preserve and to carry, tea bricks are a practical means of payment used even to make a trade with people from other regions.
