Gunpowder
Loading...
Look closely at this tea and you should see small shiny balls, each rolled into a round pellets so small they resemble grains of black powder. This Chinese green tea is processed by withering the tea leaves, after which they are steamed, rolled and dried. Gunpowder has a honey like softness with a slight smoky flavor. Also called “pearl tea” or “bead tea,” the highest quality Gunpowder should have small, tightly rolled pellets and a shine, indicating freshness.
