gunpowder

“ Gunpowder tea, known for its distinctive tiny green pellets that eagerly unfurl into long, inviting leaves when steeped, garners appreciation for both its visual allure and its rich flavor profile. This robust green tea displays a mellow, yet energizing, harmony of tastes ranging from a soft buttery mouthfeel with grassy undercurrents to a subtle, pleasant smokiness adding intrigue. Its versatility shines through in reviews, from being enjoyed on its own, praised for its smooth, clean taste, to being a cherished component in blends, particularly in the creation of a refreshing Moroccan Mint. Ideal for multiple steeps, gunpowder tea is celebrated for its ability to pair well with food, remain delightful both hot and cold, and maintain a flavor that evolves pleasantly across infusions. It’s described as a must-have staple for green tea enthusiasts, offering a superb balance of qualities that emphasize its unique character and excellent value. ”

“ A wonderful smoky green tea, that'snot bitter or grassy. This is such a comforting tea that reminds me of when I lived in Japan. ”

“ A bit grassy for me but overall a nice cuppa! Smokiness is subtle, thank goodness! ”

“ Gunpowder green tea is one of my staple green teas to have around. Good for an energy boost or after a big dinner. Smooth or sharp depending on how you brew. Always worth an extra steeping or two. ”

“ I love this green tea. Have a cup of this and you'll never want to drink it from the teabags at the stores. ”

“ I thought I didn’t like gunpowder tea, but I think it was the lapsang souchong that blenders or company’s often put with it.
I taste no smokiness personally. It is very smooth, with no bitter notes. Full mouthfeel for sure though! ”
