It takes a special skill to roll tea leaves into this unusual shape. Because they are so tightly rolled, these little pellets keep exceptionally well which is rare for a high quality green tea. When hot water is added, the little balls unfold gracefully and produce a flavorful dark green brew with a unique fragrance and a delightful, lingering aftertaste.
The best Gunpowder Green Tea is Temple of Heaven Brand. It’s not only famous in China but also all over the world.Gunpowder Green Tea derives its name from the shape of its finished tea. The very dark green tea leaves have been rolled into little pellets which look like gunpowder to some connoisseurs.Meanwhile people call it Gunpowder Because: The tea is so well curled and tightened which looks like a small ball or pearl; when you put the tea into your hands, you feel it is heavy; when you pour boiling water into the tea, you can see all large tea leaves spreading out immediately just like explosion. Good Gunpowder Tea uses older tea leaves unlike other varieties of green tea. Tea steeped from Gunpowder has a dark golden color, roasted or toasted taste with a strong aftertaste lingering in the front palette, and a strong roasted or toasted aroma. You can also judge the quality of Gunpowder Green by its appearance. The well tightened and curled tea looks like tiny pearl with dark-green shining color

Delicious!! I just brewed my first batch and this is by far the best green tea I’ve tried. My family will have to live with less this batch because my first sample cup quickly turned into 3 big cups! Yummmmmmmm.
Steep with care Some reviewers claim not to like the taste or smell of gunpowder green tea. To each his own. It should be noted that preparing green tea does require more care than other teas. Never boil the water in an aluminum kettle, or steep the tea in an aluminum container. This ruins the taste of the brew. It is also important to let the water cool before pouring it onto the tea leaves. Once the water has boiled let it cool for 2-3 minutes, and then steep the tea for 2-3 minutes…no more. I have found…
Excellent tasting Chinese green tea I’ve been experimenting on how much gunpowder green tea to use, and I think I have the amount (to my desired taste). I use one rounded teaspoon per 8-ounce water, with water heated to 175F (80-seconds high on 1000w microwave oven). Brew-time is 90 seconds. I find myself drinking 6 to 8 cups tea a day — this is enjoyable tea.
