A classic green tea from Zhejiang province, China. Gunpowder, as the name implies, is made up of leaves hand-rolled into tiny pellets. These resemble gunpowder, and give this tea its distinct name. Full-bodied cup with a hint of smokiness and smooth mouthfeel. Blend with spearmint to create the famous 'Moroccan Mint' tea.
Steep at 180° for 2 minutes.

Gunpowder is a very famous tea, inside and outside of China. Gunpowder is widely consumed throughout the Middle East, often blended with fresh mint and sugar. In China, this tea is called Green Pearl tea; the tight roll of the leaves helps retain flavor and aroma for much longer than many other greens. A delicate shine on the pellets indicate the tea is quite fresh.
Filled with the same high quality, full-leaf teas offered loose, our tea bags
have a distinctive pyramid shape that gives leaves plenty of room to unfurl and
fully infuse for the finest cup of tea. Savor the superior flavor of loose tea
without sacrificing the convenience of a teabag.
