Gunpowder Green Tea

Gunpowder green tea is a Chinese green tea with tightly rolled leaves that resemble small pellets. The leaves are withered, steamed, rolled, and dried to retain their flavor and aroma. The tea has a bold, smoky flavor with a slightly astringent or nutty undertone. The tightly rolled leaves can stay fresh for a long time, making it a versatile tea for everyday drinking or as a base for Moroccan mint tea.

Gunpowder green tea, distinguished by its tightly rolled pellets, delivers a bold and smoky flavor profile. The leaves unfurl during brewing, producing a robust and full-bodied infusion. The taste is often characterized by a slight astringency, complemented by nutty undertones. The tea liquor, a deep amber, reflects the tea's rich and distinctive nature.
