HOW TO USE Grassy and naturally energizing, organic gunpowder green tea is a caffeinated, loose-leaf bulk tea made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose-leaf tea. Steep one teaspoon in 8oz of water just under boiling (around 175 to 180 degrees) for 2 to 3 minutes. Gunpowder green tea is rolled into small pellets, which unfurl as they steep. You can re-steep the same leaves two to three times, each cup slightly different in character. Oversteeping or using water that's too hot will bring out bitterness, so keep both time and temperature in check. Organic gunpowder green tea is a traditionally processed green tea, named for the way its leaves are rolled into small, dense pellets resembling gunpowder.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How much caffeine is in gunpowder green tea?A typical cup contains roughly 25 to 50mg of caffeine, depending on how long and how strong you steep it, less than a cup of coffee but more than most herbal infusions, which contain none. If you're managing your total daily caffeine, it's worth counting toward that total. Why is it called gunpowder tea?The name comes from the way the leaves are rolled into small, tightly wound pellets that resemble grains of gunpowder. This rolling process is traditional and helps protect the tea's flavor and freshness during storage; it has nothing to do with the tea's flavor or ingredients. Can I drink gunpowder green tea every day?Many people do, as a steady source of natural energy and antioxidants. As with any caffeinated beverage, pay attention to your total daily caffeine intake and how your body responds, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine or managing your sleep. Does green tea affect iron absorption?Yes, the catechins in green tea can reduce how much iron your body absorbs from a meal. If you're managing low iron, it's a good habit to drink green tea between meals rather than alongside iron-rich food. Is gunpowder green tea safe during pregnancy?Green tea is generally considered acceptable in moderation during pregnancy, similar to other caffeinated beverages, but it does count toward your total daily caffeine intake. Please talk with your healthcare provider about how much caffeine is appropriate for your pregnancy.
