The "Thin Cigar" pick is made for pressed pu-erh: cakes, tuo cha and bricks. Its slim working tip lets you separate the tea in layers without crumbling the leaf into dust.
Pressed pu-erh cannot be broken by hand without losses: the leaf crumbles. The pick helps you detach the portion you need carefully, keeping the leaf intact. It is useful both for those who drink pu-erh every day and for collectors.
