China Gunpowder

The China Gunpowder owes its unusual name to the special processing. The leaves are gently rolled into balls before drying. This tea reminded the British soldiers of ammunition and so the tea was given the name Gunpowder. The balls unroll when hot water is poured on.

These "green pearls" from the Chinese province of Zheijang give a typical strong, spicy taste after the first puff. The second infusion has a much rounder and smoother taste. Chinese green gunpowder tea is also commonly used to make traditional Moroccan mint tea.

Green gunpowder tea contains more caffeine than other types of green tea. This makes it a popular tea among athletes to increase their stamina.
