Product Story
About Organic Gunpowder Tea
【The Pearl of Green Tea】: Named for its unique appearance, each leaf is tightly rolled into a tiny, round pellet. In the 18th century, it was famously dubbed "Gunpowder" for its resemblance to lead shot. This compact shape helps preserve the tea's freshness and essential oils for much longer than other green teas.
- 【Terroir & Tradition】: Grown in the misty mountains of Zhejiang. The leaves are harvested at peak freshness and processed with a precision rolling technique that ensures they unfurl beautifully when steeped.
- 【Certified Organic Purity】: We strictly adhere to EU and USDA Organic standards. No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used, protecting the local biodiversity and ensuring a clean, chemical-free cup of tea for the conscious consumer.
- 【Bold Flavor & Versatility】: Known for its full-bodied, slightly smoky, and nutty profile. It serves as the essential base for traditional Moroccan Mint Tea or can be enjoyed plain for a powerful, refreshing boost of antioxidants.
