Gunpowder

Green tea leaves from the from the Guangdong province of China have been hand-rolled into tiny pellets that resemble gunpowder. This full-bodied cup with a hint of smokiness is exactly what you’d expect. Like many of the rolled teas, there is something slightly hypnotic and relaxing about watching the leaves unfurl as the tea brews.

This blend contains caffeine.

1 tsp/5 grams

8 oz/237 ml

185⁰F/85⁰C

2-3 minutes

Some teas are recommended for brewing with boiling water, while others are brewed at lower temperatures. Even when brewing a tea at a lower temperature, it is recommended that you first boil the water (to kill bacteria etc.) and then allow the water to cool to the correct temperature (ice cubes speed up the process). While you can certainly brew any tea with boiling water, it will change the flavor of the tea.
Prepared in China.
