Prickly Pear Cactus is carefully processed to include only the fleshy inner part of the cactus, which is sweet and minerally, while having a slippery throat lubricating quality to it. This unique prickly pear taste blended with the earthy sweetness of the ripe pu-erh is fortifying and velvety smooth to drink!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese heart-shaped tea resin \"balls\" are roughly 0.5 grams each and are individually wrapped, making them perfect for making tea on the go. We recommend dissolving these in about 250-350ml of hot water.  These can also be dissolved in cold water as well (might take a bit more time).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: Roughly 0.5 grams each (the weight you choose will include the weight of the foil wrapping which is negligible).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: The color of the foil wrapper may be different than pictured.

'Cha Gao' literally means 'tea paste' or 'tea resin', 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 resin that is of similar quality to that which was produced during the Qing dynasty. When preparing, pour the water over the ball 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eCAFFEINE SAFETY WARNING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eCha Gao is a highly concentrated Pu-erh tea extract.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003eHigh Caffeine Content:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003e This product contains a high level of naturally occurring caffeine, up to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003e90 mg per 1 gram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selected\"\u003e.
