Gunpowder Green - 175g Loose Leaf Tea
Loose Leaf Green Tea
Origin
Our superb example of this distinctive style of green tea, Gunpowder, originates from Wuyi County, Zhejiang Province on China's Eastern seaboard. Zhejiang's humid, subtropical climate is perfectly suited to tea cultivation. Legend has it that the tea's name was given by a young English clerk who thought the tiny rolled green balls looked like pellets of gunpowder.
Tea Description
To make this tea each silvery green tea is withered, fired and then rolled into a tiny ball, a technique perfected over centuries to preserve freshness. Once in the cup with hot water added, the leaves of the shiny pellets unfurl back into life. The liquor is yellow, with a strong, honeyed and slightly smoky flavour that lingers on the palate.
