Now, with modern technology it is possible to produce tea-paste that is of similar quality to that which was produced during the Qing dynasty. One of the benefits of 'cha gao' is that it concentrates the chemicals found in Pu-erh tea to a very condensed and potent form. It was for this reason that it was widely considered a form of medicine during the Qing dynasty, with the 'ability to cure 100 ailments', especially concerning the gastrointestinal tract.
