Gunpowder Green Tea - ORGANIC 4 oz.
Discounted shipping on multiple purchases will be calculated at checkout!
Gunpowder green tea is a form of stronger green Chinese Tea with a distinctive nutty / oak taste, with a hint of smokiness. It makes a darker green color. We find it to be a very masculine and robust tea. Great for the coffee drinker who is trying to make the switch to the healthier alternative of tea.
Each leaf has been rolled into a small round pellet. The tea leaves are specially selected for quality, size and style. They are then rolled into very small tight nuggets. It is believed to take its English name from the fact that the tea resembles gunpowder pellets used for cannons. Gunpowder tea keeps a lot longer than other green teas because of this characteristic. Chinese exporters recommend gunpowder for iced tea flavored with lemon and sugar. Gunpowder tea is also very popular in Morocco where the leaves are boiled and mint and sugar are added. Mint added to Gunpowder tea also helps soften the bitter, strong flavor.
Gunpowder is more dense than other teas so if you are making a teapot full you only require one or two teaspoons for a teapot.
Gunpowder tea is from China. Our tea is also Certified Organic.
You will receive your tea in the beautiful gift bags shown in the picture on this listing. On the backside of the middle and larger bags, the bag is clear to view the tea, as shown in the pic. One side is gold, and the other side is clear. We hunted high and low for these bags and just love them. They are very elegant and will enhance your tea experience as well as make our teas perfectly suited for gift giving.
You will receive 4 oz. of loose tea, which is approximately 1.25 cups. Depending on how strong you like your tea, this amount will make approximately 50-60 cups of tea (remember, this tea is very strong so you do not need as much per cup as you would for other teas). The 4 ounce bag is the middle one shown in the picture. If you would like 8 ounces, just buy two quantities, and we will package your tea in the larger 8 ounce bag shown in the picture.
The smallest bag is 2 oz, and is used in our Sampler Packs that we now have available!
The picture in this listing is the actual tea you will receive. This is not a stock photo but a picture taken by us of the tea we provide, and drink ourselves. :-)
THANKS AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY! <><
