Our Organic Gunpowder is a bold and full flavoured green tea without being overpowering or bitter - the perfect balance of sweet, refreshing and moreish flavour. As with all our green teas, this tightly rolled tea is made from tea grown in Spring for the freshest flavour.
This robust tea pairs with grilled vegetables, seafood, chicken and pork. Gunpowder tea leaves often stay fresher longer due to their compressed form. This tea is higher in caffeine than most other green teas (35-40 mg/8 oz. serving), packing more punch.
This tea has a very rich flavor, with a hint of sweet smokiness
The best Gunpowder green teas have a shiny surface, a hallmark of freshness, and are deftly rolled into tightly curled pellets.
This is truly an excellent everyday green tea and world away from examples you'll find in the supermarket. Learn about our world of green tea.
