Gunpowder Green Tea

The best green loose leaf tea in general distribution. An honest Gunpowder Tea which has none of the binding agents sometimes associated with Gunpowder teas of lesser leaf quality. Small, hand-picked tender young leaves are tightly rolled into the shape of pearls, resembling gunpowder pellets, which unfurl when brewed into the original full leaf, producing a delicious, pale golden tea. The excellence of this tea comes from the quality of the original tea leaves which are young and fresh and in the preparation: The preparation of the tea into tiny little balls is an excellent way of retaining the full properties of the leaf. Stronger in taste than Chun Mee, a very small amount of tea is needed per cup. The high quality of the original small tea leaf means that unlike other Gunpowder teas, Qi Gunpowder has no bitterness.
