Gunpowder green tea, renowned for its unique appearance and flavor, derives its name from the resemblance of its rolled leaves to small pellets of gunpowder. This traditional Chinese tea undergoes a meticulous crafting process where freshly plucked leaves are withered, steamed, rolled into tight spheres, and then dried.
Upon steeping, these tightly rolled pellets unfurl gracefully, releasing a delicate yet robust aroma that combines vegetal notes with hints of smokiness and a slight bitterness. The liquor brews to a clear, pale yellow green hue.
Gunpowder green tea offers a distinctive taste that is both refreshing and slightly tangy, with a subtle earthiness. Its moderate caffeine content makes it a perfect choice for any time of day.
