About Gunpowder - Organically Grown Chinese Green Tea
This tea is comprised of the larger 2nd and 3rd leaves and a bit of tender shoot stem. The pluckings are rolled like an oolong tea, fired then dried. The stem and large leaf constituents give this tea its smooth liquor and lower caffeine content. The name gunpowder comes from its appearance: the nuggets of dried tea resemble gunpowder in shape and color and the tea is known for the pewter-colored sheen on the dark green leaves. This is an excellent choice for an everyday green tea.
A Few Words On Taste
This tea has a light, yet satisfying flavor and aroma with sweet and delicate, smoked green tea notes . We do not recommend the addition of milk to this tea, though your preferred natural sweetener may be added.
