Product Description
Organic gunpowder tea was one of the first types of tea found by merchants from Europe when they ventured to China. They thought these rolled organic green tea balls were reminiscent of gunpowder balls. Organic gunpowder green tea consists of dark green balls of rolled organic green tea. When fully brewed the whole organic green tea leaves unfurl, exploding into pale green whole leaves floating in the cup. Gunpowder tea has a soft honey or coppery liquor with a herby smooth light taste. Organic green teas are naturally low in caffeine and contain polyphenols which are valued for their antioxidant properties.
