Chinese Gunpowder

Step into the world of classic Chinese green teas with our Gunpowder tea, a distinguished blend celebrated for its unique appearance and bold flavour profile. Crafted using traditional methods, Gunpowder tea undergoes a meticulous process that sets it apart from other green teas, offering a truly exceptional cup.

The journey begins with the careful withering, steaming, and drying of the leaves, followed by a distinctive rolling technique. This rolling process transforms the leaves into small, tightly wound pellets, resembling gunpowder, from which the tea gets its name. The compact shape helps preserve the tea's natural oils, maintaining its flavour and aroma for a fresher, more robust brew.

When brewed, the tightly rolled leaves unfurl to reveal a dark-golden liquor, releasing a sweet, inviting aroma that immediately captivates the senses. The flavour profile is rich and full-bodied, with a refreshing crispness. Hints of fruit, like apple and grape, subtly dance across the palate, adding depth and complexity to the overall tasting experience.

What truly distinguishes Gunpowder tea is its ability to age beautifully. Due to the rolling process, the tea leaves retain more of their freshness, meaning they preserve their bright, vibrant green tea characteristics for a longer period. This allows the tea to develop and mature while maintaining its bold, refreshing notes.

Whether you're a seasoned tea lover or exploring green tea for the first time, Gunpowder tea offers a satisfying, flavourful journey. Embrace the timeless appeal of this classic Chinese tea and indulge in its bold, fresh flavours that have been cherished for generations.
