A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle

From Tower of the RiddleMaster

If I don't give you folks the slip,

You work to keep me under blade.

Don't use my sheets to make your bed

Nor wear my cap to give you shade.

Though there are those who want me crushed

Or in a block would trap me;

When others look for sweet relief,

I'm, so they say, their cup of tea.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
