Gunpowder Green Tea Blend

Gunpowder Green Tea Blend

Experience the timeless appeal of Gunpowder Green Tea, a classic Chinese tea that has been enjoyed for centuries. The leaves are tightly rolled to maintain their quality and freshness, resulting in a full-bodied cup with hints of smokiness and a subtle citrus finish. This green tea offers a unique depth of flavor that can be enjoyed hot or cold. For a refreshing twist, try it iced with fresh mint leaves or a splash of lemon juice—perfect for a cool, invigorating treat.

Though tea balls and strainers are often used for tea that isn't pre-bagged, ideal methods of infusing loose leaf teas employ strainers that allow for the tea leaves to completely unfurl and release their flavor. Teapots with removable strainers for tea will allow a fuller flavor.

Some tea enthusiasts dispense with using strainers altogether and drop leaves in the pot directly and then strain the tea when serving into cups. When employing this method be sure to pour out all tea or the remaining liquid will get bitter from over-steeping.

Notes on Tea Strength: The strength and flavor of the tea is a personal experience.
We aim to provide times and temperatures that reduce the risk of allowing the actual tea leaves (or other delicate herbs in blends) to taste bitter due to too much steep time or to get scorched from too much heat.
If you desire a stronger cup, we suggest using more tea rather than a longer steep time to minimize the potential for more bitterness from over-steeping.
