Description

Gunpowder is one of the most famous names in tea, partly due to the story that the name was given by a young English port clerk who thought the tiny rolled green balls were gunpowder. Gunpowder tea keeps a lot longer than other green teas and its flavour is characteristic.

This tea produces a reasonably strong dark-green brew with a memorable fragrance and a long lasting finish. Gunpowder is denser than other teas so one or two teaspoons for a teapot is all that is required.

Gunpowder green tea - how to brew?
Allow boiled water to cool to 82°C then infuse 1 heaped teaspoon per 260ml water for 1-3 minutes according to taste.
