This is one of my favorite green teas. It has a nice dark flavor without being too grassy. It is great with honey and without.
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.

Great flavor and aroma. A little goes a long way. Can very easily get two cups from a small amount of leaves.
This is one of my first teas, the smokiness and slight mellow notes makes it my personal favorite
Gunpowder green is a basic, but enjoyable, green tea. It has an earthy taste that can quickly become bitter if it's oversteeped or steeped too hot, so be careful. Gunpowder is a nice introduction to green tea, but if one is looking for a lighter or sweeter green tea, there are other options that better serve those needs.
A great green tea! I tend to like black tea's but I like how this one has a bit of a smokey flavor and is very good to drink in the mornings.
I love, love, LOVE this tea!!! Gunpowder has long been my favorite green tea, and this is a fabulous example of it.
I really loved this tea! It's not quite at the top of my list, but it's close! It has a nice earthy feel and goes great with just a little honey.
Wonderful staple green tea. Its also good mixed with a spearmint or peppermint.
Bought it because of the name but glad I did. Robust flavor- the tea to drink when you need a jolt of energy.
This tea has more body than the average green and isn't at all bitter. It's good, warm 'campfire' type tea and holds perfectly all day in a steel thermos.
This stuff is amazing! I would highly recommend this for your daily green tea drink!
A wonderful green tea! I can say that so far, this is my favorite green.
I simply don't enjoy this tea, its flavor doesn't suit well with me and it had a slight bitterness that I couldn't get rid of.
This is a really nice green tea!... though I think I prefer it in blends.
This is my second-favorite green tea. Steeping as directed yields a lovely, grassy flavored tea with a very faint smoky finish. Excellent with honey.
Not the best gunpowder tea I've had. Ok, but I wouldn't order it again.
Awesome green tea especially mixed with spearmint.
The smoke flavor of this tea is incredible. One of my first teas from Adagio a few years ago and I fell in love with it.
Mix with Mint and keep a pitcher in my frig for geast.
Very solid Gunpowder entry. Entertaining the idea of using this in tea cocktails.
I've used this in a couple of my blends. Very smoky and light, perfect for all sorts of tea.
Good tea. Brewed it for more than an hour the first time and loved it. Brewed it for 3 minutes the next and it was still good.
I really liked this one. It has a smooth taste that is still wholesome and full. I got the recommendation from a friend and she was right. It is delicious!
Yup, it's green. Milder than the Sleeping Dragon, and more to my liking. Smells very strong in the bag, but sweetens in the cup. I really like the smoky elements. Would order again for a standard green tea.
This is a nice green tea for any time hot or iced.
I loved how this tea can be used
For a second cup.. Like how the leaves
Open up..
This tea is actually somewhere between good and great. I really enjoyed it, but it's more of a solid daily tea than anything truly special. There is a nice roasty note as you drink it, which I really enjoyed. All in all a very good tea.
Gift for my boyfriend. He loves adagio's gunpowder green tea. It is a staple for him.
Love the Adagio gunpowder, it is a relaxing tea for me, and with just a touch of honey the perfect cup to get going for the day.
A nice green. I bought it to mix with spearmint or peppermint to get my own 'Moroccan Mint' blend.
This is a really nice green tea. I like to drink it in the office.
I tried this tea a while back and simply forgot how amazingly delicious it was. It's the perfect combination of grassy and smokey. I am a huge fan of teas with a hint of smoke flavour and this one fit the bill perfectly. I also love the presentation of this tea, from the way they are rolled in little balls, to the wonderful colour it makes it the cup. I think this tea has for sure made it's way onto my favourites list.
Very strong green tea. Perfect when you need to perk up.
This is my favorite green tea. I absolutely love it! You don't need much, since the leaves uncurl, and you can re-steep. Just use less water than the first time if you do, because it won't be as strong, but it will be just as good.
A good green tea. Not too overpowering, but does not have that much of a flavor to it. It is enjoyable to drink.
A nice evening cup of tea that is not too acidic. Not too creamy, more vegetative and earthy.
Very good everyday tea, I love the slight smokey taste and the affordable price for such a quality tea.
This is a very smoky tasting green tea. It's a pungent flavor if overbrewed. Steeping for half the recommended time makes the flavor milder. As strange as it may seem, there is a slight coffee taste.
nice and strong, a great morning tea. I had never heard of this tea until a coworker mentioned it.
this tea is amazing, one of my favorites. it smells very nice and has a good earthy flavor to it. will definitely order again.
I had used Gevalia and Twinings green teas, and enjoyed them. This tea seems more flavorful, and certainly more enjoyable to brew. The hand-rolled leaves unfurl to give an amber brew that needs little sugar. My new green tea!
Very nice by itself, and mixed with some mint for some great tea!
The coffee of teas! Great for jump-starting your day!
Gunpowder green is one of my favorite green teas!!
love the taste-smoky Lush, fragrant, almost hearty - for very substantial food or a good after dinner tea
Remains one of my favorite and frequently enjoyed green teas.
Full bodied flavor for a green tea. Brew carefully to avoid bitterness.
gunpowder green tea is a excellent everyday tea for me.
It's a definite kick to the face. and great to use to wake up!
This is a very good green tea. Add a little honey and it is excellent and a relaxing tea to drink.
