Gunpowder Green Tea #1
Organic, Fair Trade Certified
|
The tender leaves of this organic, Fair Trade Certified green tea are steamed and then tightly rolled in a time honored process. When infused, the tightly-rolled pellets yield a medium-bodied, golden infusion with a nutty vegetal flavor. Heat generated during the rolling process lends this tea the slightest hint of smoke.
Legend has it that the name of this tea is owed to a young English clerk who likened the small green pellets to gunpowder. Hot water causes them to open up like flowers and sink slowly to the bottom in graceful patterns. Note: Gunpowder is denser than other teas, so we recommend only one or two teaspoons for a full teapot, or half a teaspoon for one cup of tea.
Ingredients: organic Chinese green tea
Suggested serving size: one scant teaspoon
Aubrey Says: This is our original Gunpowder Green Tea and is a best seller! However, unlike Jeremy, I have been won over by our fuller bodied Gunpowder #2.
Jeremy Says: While I personally prefer this variety, I know that many Gunpowder Green Tea lovers are interested in the fuller body and greater smoke of our Gunpowder Green Tea #2.
