Made entirely from Jingmai mountain area raw pu-erh tea.  Entirely 2016 spring harvest tea was processed through a special decoction process this concentrated pu-erh tea cha gao was made.  They were then warmed to make soft and pressed into these lovely 0.5 gram single serving cha gao bricks!

Simply put one in a cha hai, cup, or thermos and pour hot over it.  Shake or agitate the cha gao and it will start to diffuse.  Very nice smooth and aromaric Jingmai pu-erh taste.  Very special and high quality cha gao!

Roughly 0.5 grams each.

Cha Gao - Instant Pu-erh Tea 茶膏 : This specialty of Yunnan province uses a technique to take the liquid from the tea leaves and then solidifies the liquid into shapes which can easily be dissolved in water to make tea. 'Cha Gao' literally means 'tea paste', and this technique evolved from a process developed in the Tang 唐 and Song 宋 dynasties, while the process of making Pu-erh Cha Gao in particular was enhanced and perfected during the Qing 清 dynasty, which was considered to be the pinnacle of 'cha gao' quality. Unfortunately, imperial techniques employed during the Qing dynasty were lost with the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, and attempts to revive the industry in subsequent decades fell short and the practice of making tea-paste practically vanished. 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. When preparing, use one unit per 500 ml of water and pour the water over the unit little by little to allow it time to completely dissolve; some cha gao also require that they be placed into water that has already been poured.
