Gunpowder Green Tea

Description

all about the tea

Gunpowder tea is a form of Chinese tea in-which the leaves are rolled into pellets. When steeped, the tea pellets unwind and create a golden yellowish liquid. Its English name comes from its resemblance to grains of Gunpowder.

Gunpowder tea leaves are withered, steamed, rolled, and then dried. Rolling renders the leaves less susceptible to physical damage and breakage and allows them to retain more of their flavor and aroma. When buying gunpowder tea, it is important to look for shiny pellets, this indicates that the tea is relatively fresh. Pellet size is also associated with quality, larger pellets being considered a mark of lower quality tea.

Best served: Hot Tea with Honey
