Gunpowder Green Tea Organic, Fair Trade

Gunpowder Green Tea Organic, Fair Trade

Botanical Name: Camellia sinensis

Origin: China

A hearty, strong, Chinese Green Tea that is rolled into the shape of small pinhead pellets and was awarded its title because of its resemblance to the pellets used for gunpowder ammunition during the 17th century. Originally rolled tightly to preserve freshness and maintain moisture during long voyages overseas. Because of its tightly rolled leaf, it has a great shelf life. It is a classic, bold and unforgettable tea with a striking taste and crisp, clear flavor.
