Our organic gunpowder green tea is a hearty, strong tea that is rolled in small pellets. It is aptly awarded its title because of its resemblance to the pellets used for gunpowder ammunitions during the 17th century. Originally rolled tightly to preserve freshness and maintain moisture during long voyages overseas, it still holds true as an unsurpassable fresh tea that is full of dark bold color and a striking taste. Gunpowder tea is astringent and mildly bitter, and you can add a very small pinch of Stevia or Spearmint to soften the taste.

Contains caffeine.

Aroma and Flavor A profoundly green aroma with a deep, well-rounded tannic flavor.

Brew Instructions Fill 1 teaspoon of tea in a cloth tea bag or mesh basket and place in your favorite mug. Pour 8 ounces of boiling water over the tea and allow to steep for 3-5 minutes or until desired strength is reached.
