Gunpowder  is so called as the dry tea leaves are rolled into tight balls (zhu cha) that resemble gunpowder. One of the most popularly consumed Chinese green teas,  it has a wonderfully strong yet not overpowering aroma and a gentle astringent taste with rice-like undertones. Gunpowder is great consumed by itself, or as part of a blend. We use it together with mint tea in our Chai Nanna.

Gunpowder Green is so called as the dry tea leaves are rolled into tight balls that resemble gunpowder. According to legend, the name derives from an occasion when a British merchant ship was tricked into purchasing the tea instead of gunpowder.  With a fresh, rounded taste evoking paddy fields, gunpowder tea is a very good remedy for stomach complaints.
