A deliciously cleansing, loose-leaf tea which is among the freshest and sweetest of the green tea family. Each tea leaf is rolled into a tiny ball (these little pellets were mistaken for gunpowder by sixteenth century traders, hence the name). When brewed it has a smoky flavour with hints of aromatic honey.

After going through many different Gunpowder Green teas this is now my favourite
My 1kg order of gunpowder tea was delivered in 4 x 250g resealable pouches which is very useful for keeping it fresh and has a long best before date too. The tea itself is excellent, very good size leafs that are neatly rolled. I've tried quite a few different gunpowder teas and this is definitely one of the best. Other cheaper ones have a lot of small fragments. This one is much better quality. Highly recommended
Delicious, smooth tea
Lovely, smooth flavour. Excellent quality tea.
