Gunpowder tea is no ordinary cup of tea. Its unique character comes from the fact that the tea leaves are rolled into small, pearl-like pellets—a compact shape that protects the leaves’ aromas and gives the tea its distinctive full-bodied, slightly smoky flavor that tea lovers around the world appreciate.
Expertly crafted gunpowder tea is brewed at a slightly higher temperature than many other green teas. For the best result, pour out the water just before the leaves fully unfurl—this way you avoid bitterness and bring out a smooth yet bold and balanced flavor profile.
Gunpowder tea is the perfect choice if you’re looking for depth, character, and a touch of traditional exoticism in your tea.
