Gunpowder

Gunpowder tea is a traditional Chinese variety distinguished by its bold, smoky flavor, subtle nuttiness, and slightly bitter finish. The designation "gunpowder" refers to the tightly rolled, pellet-like shape of the leaves and the tea's robust taste, which remains consistent through multiple steepings. Its characteristic smoky notes and aroma result from the roasting process applied to the leaves, providing a unique profile compared to other green teas. Gunpowder green tea is recognized for its strong and distinctive flavor, well-suited to individuals seeking a more intense tea experience.
