Description
A classic green tea from the Zhejiang province in China, originally dating back to the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). The English name of this tea may come from its resemblance to actual gunpowder or quite possibly from the Mandarin Chinese phrase for ‘freshly brewed’ (gāng pào de 剛泡的), which sounds similar to the English word gunpowder.
Gunpowder tea consists of leaves hand-rolled into tiny pellets. The rolling process allows the leaves to retain more of its flavour and aroma by protecting the leaves from damage and breakage. The result is a full-bodied, smooth tasting cup with a bold, slightly smoky flavour.
Gunpowder tea is infamous for its energising quality, containing higher levels of caffeine than most other green teas and is often used by athletes to improve endurance. It is the ideal tea for those needing extra energy or wanting a substitute for the morning coffee.
Origin: China.
Ingredients: Certified Organic Gunpowder Green Tea.
Serving suggestion: Add 1 teaspoon per cup and brew in 75-80ºC water for 60 seconds
