When using a tea poke, insert it from the side of the tea cake and pry it inward or outward. The function of the tea poke is to untie the tea cake. The popular and vivid term is "peeing the tea" to peel off the tea. It is not chopping or cutting. Rather than chopping, the biggest advantage of using tea stamps is that it can minimize the amount of broken tea in the process of "tea cake making".
