Gunpowder tea is a traditional Chinese tea that has a bold, smoky flavor with hints of nuttiness and a slightly bitter finish. It is named for the method in which the tea is made, as it has a tightly rolled, pellet-like appearance, and its robust taste profile that stands up well to multiple steepings. The smoky flavor and aroma come from the way the tea leaves are roasted, giving it a distinct character that sets it apart from other green teas. Overall, gunpowder green tea is a strong and flavorful tea, perfect for those looking for a tea with a little more kick.

Nice green tea

I was excited to try loose leaf teas. I thought for sure they would be much better than tea bags. However, I could not really taste a difference from bagged tea. Tried 10 different varieties and only a couple tasted better and not very much so. This green tea was the exception. Was better than green tea in a tea bag.

Not Disappointed

I was a bit shy about trying it because of the 'smoked' flavor description, but gave it a 'shot' anyway.

The flavor is definitely different and more robust, but I found it smooth.

Having a variety of teas on hand is certainly a benefit. I've discovered I might not care much for one tea, but when I try it again a month or two later I actually enjoy it. I'm finding my taste buds tend to change and not sure why. Like when I'll crave certain teas. Especially if my digestion system is upset I'll find the green and oolong teas soothing on my system.

I love it

I love it! I will be ordering it again. I have had other green teas. But yours is delicious. Never stop making it. I even make the green tea in ice cube trays and put in my freezer to have later on.

Strong but delicious

First time I made it way too strong. Follow directions and this is a hearty flavorful tea, great for mid day slumps.
