A Green Tea with surprising body and captivating green tea taste!

Legend has it that the name Gunpowder was given by a young English clerk who thought the tiny rolled balls looked like gunpowder. The tea leaves are specially selected for quality, size and style. They are then rolled into tight nugget. Gunpowder tea keeps a lot longer than other green teas and is favored because of this characteristic. This gunpowder produces a reasonably strong dark-green brew with memorable fragrance, a slight bitter but not unpleasant flavor and a long lasting finish. Gunpowder is more dense than other teas so one or two teaspoons for a teapot is all that is required. Can be infused three times.
