Details
The Superior Gunpowder Green Tea blend from English Tea Store is a stronger green tea from China with a distinctive nutty/oak taste and a darker green color tea.
Legend has it that the name Gunpowder was given by an young English clerk who thought the tiny rolled green balls looked like gunpowder. The tea leaves are specially selected for quality, size and style. They are then rolled into very small tight nuggets. Gunpowder tea keeps a lot longer than other green teas and is favored because of this characteristic. Chinese exporters recommend gunpowder for iced tea flavored with lemon and sugar. Gunpowder tea is also very popular in Morocco where the leaves are boiled and mint and sugar are added.
Gunpowder is more dense than other teas so if you are making a teapot full, you'll only require one or two teaspoons for a teapot. Chinese researchers have found that gunpowder tea is high in fluoride and known to reduce cavities. They say that a human body requires 1-2 milligrams of fluoride a day. Ten grams of gunpowder tea (enough to make 3 cups of strong tea) can supply this amount.

My all-time favorite tea

Nice, strong flavor
I drink green tea every morning, and I prefer loose leaf tea so I can control the intensity. The gunpowder green tea has bolder flavor. I like to drink it when I need a little kick.
-
Great for kombucha
I make large batches (5 gal) of kombucha. This tea has great flavor and it’s less wasteful since it’s loose leaf. I reordered it and this is my go-to tea now.

Solid
Ordered 5 different greens and this is my second favorite. Doesn't wow me but nice, mellow, earthy flavor that I like quite a bit.

Superior Gunpowder green tea
Best green tea. I usually prefer black tea but once in a while this is the perfect alternative. Robust flavor and actual tea leaves, no powdery residue.

superior bulk gunpowder green tea
I've ordered this tea one time before, and I liked it so much, I ordered it again. It's a stronger tea so I don't have to use as much as some others. I ordered osprey gunpowder tea at the same time which is milder. I use both at different times depending on my mood and need. I use the superior when I want a bolder flavor and a "kick".
