Product Description

Before black tea captured the British imagination, green tea was the brew of choice for businessmen & bohemians alike. Back in the 18th & 19th centuries this was likely to have been a classic Chinese gunpowder' tea, fired in large drums for a smoky taste & tightly rolled to resemble pellets of gunpowder. The ancient technique of rolling the leaves gave the tea a certain hardiness as it was transported across continents, preserving its distinctive flavour & aroma. As a result, gunpowder-style green tea became one of the most popular teas to export. It soon became a favourite tea in the Maghreb, used in the preparation of traditional North African mint tea for centuries. Our Gunpowder Green is a particularly bright, clean variety with a smooth sweetness & a smoke-tinged finish
- beautiful brewed lightly for clarity of taste.
