Gunpowder Tea
Gunpowder Tea is a classic Chinese loose leaf green tea traditionally associated with Zhejiang province in China. Made with Gunpowder green tea leaves, it is known for its tightly rolled pellet-like leaves, full-bodied green tea character and smooth, refreshing cup.
As the leaves unfurl during brewing, they release a robust green tea infusion with smooth mouthfeel, gentle vegetal notes and a lightly toasted edge. More substantial than many delicate green teas, Gunpowder Tea offers satisfying depth, clean freshness and a balanced finish.
Enjoy it plain as a classic everyday Chinese green tea, or blend it with spearmint for a refreshing Moroccan-style mint tea. Its rolled leaf style helps preserve aroma and makes it a practical, flavourful choice for daily green tea drinking.
