About Traditional Gunpowder

This green tea - the perfect base for adding fresh mint leaves to - is harvested and produced in the traditional Zhejiang province of China. Each tea leaf has been rolled into a tight pellet with a fresh silky sheen. We searched long and hard for the best Gunpowder tea with classic qualities: brisk and rich with a hint of smokiness, and a wonderful, lasting mellow feeling.

 

About

Gunpowder tea is one of the most famous Chinese green teas, known for its distinctive rolling method that enhances both its shelf life and depth of flavour. When brewed, the leaves unfurl, releasing a robust, full-bodied taste with a subtle smokiness that sets it apart from other green teas. Traditionally used as the base for Moroccan mint tea, Gunpowder tea has been cherished for centuries for its invigorating properties and refreshing character.

 

Effects

Gunpowder green tea is packed with antioxidants and catechins, supporting metabolism, digestion, and overall well-being. This tea is also known to aid hydration and detoxification, making it a great daily ritual.

 

How to Enjoy

This tea pairs beautifully with fresh mint leaves for a traditional Moroccan experience. It also complements light pastries, citrus fruits, and honey, enhancing its natural smokiness. For a savory pairing, enjoy it alongside grilled vegetables, mild cheeses, or Mediterranean dishes.
