⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Beautiful, bold, smooth, whole leaf green tea. I love it. My favorite!" – Deana M. A Classic Tea INGREDIENTS: Gunpowder green tea CAFFEINE CONTENT: Moderate STEEP at 180° for 2-3 minutes. What is Gunpowder Green Tea? Gunpowder green tea is popular with tea enthusiasts as a classic green tea. The pearl shape of premium Chinese Gunpowder tea retains nutrients and stays fresh longer than other types of green tea leaves. People originally called Gunpowder Zhu Cha, or pearl tea. The name originates from the tightly rolled leaves that resemble little pellets of gunpowder. The tightly rolled tea leaves unfurl during brewing to release a bold, slightly smoky, and full-bodied cup with a smooth, clean finish. Named for its pellet-like appearance, this traditional green tea is prized for its freshness, strength, and distinctive flavor profile. Sourced from high-quality green tea gardens in China, Gunpowder Green Tea is carefully pan-fired and rolled into small, tight pearls to help preserve its natural freshness and aromatic oils. When steeped, the leaves slowly open, revealing a deeper, more robust green tea character than standard loose leaf varieties. When brewed, this tea produces a pale golden-green infusion with a light smoky aroma and a brisk, invigorating taste. The flavor is bold yet balanced, opening with earthy green tea notes followed by subtle toasted undertones and a gentle natural astringency. The finish is clean, refreshing, and slightly mineral, making it an excellent everyday green tea. Gunpowder Green Tea is traditionally enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh mint, lemon, or honey for added brightness. Its sturdy flavor profile also holds up well to multiple infusions, making it a versatile choice for daily drinking or traditional tea preparation styles.
