Gunpowder Tea | Organic | Bold Rolled Leaves

Meet Organic Gunpowder Tea ( Camellia sinensis) – a tightly rolled green tea with a bold, smoky character and a clean finish. Named for its signature pellet-like leaves that resemble tiny gunpowder grains, this centuries-old Chinese tea is prized for its fresh, grassy notes, slight smokiness, and strong body. When brewed, each leaf unfurls slowly, releasing layers of rich, earthy flavour and a vibrant golden-green liquor.

This tea isn’t just a drink – it’s an experience. Known for its high antioxidant content, gunpowder tea has long been valued for supporting energy, metabolism, and overall wellness. Its robust taste makes it a favourite for both daily drinking and as the base for Moroccan mint tea.
