## Description

Please note: The tea leaves are rolled into very small pieces, so only a very small amount of tea are needed to prepare a good cup of tea. ================ It takes a special skill to roll tea leaves into this unusual shape. Because they are so tightly rolled, these little pellets keep exceptionally well which is rare for a high quality green tea. When hot water is added, the little balls unfold gracefully and produce a flavorful dark green brew with a unique fragrance and a delightful, lingering aftertaste. The best Gunpowder Green Tea is Temple of Heaven Brand. It's not only famous in China but also all over the world.Gunpowder Green Tea derives its name from the shape of its finished tea. The very dark green tea leaves have been rolled into little pellets which look like gunpowder to some connoisseurs.Meanwhile people call it Gunpowder Because: The tea is so well curled and tightened which looks like a small ball or pearl; when you put the tea into your hands, you feel it is heavy; when you pour boiling water into the tea, you can see all large tea leaves spreading out immediately just like explosion. Good Gunpowder Tea uses older tea leaves unlike other varieties of green tea. Tea steeped from Gunpowder has a dark golden color, roasted or toasted taste with a strong aftertaste lingering in the front palette, and a strong roasted or toasted aroma. You can also judge the quality of Gunpowder Green by its appearance. The well tightened and curled tea looks like tiny pearl with dark-green shining color

Oh wow this loose leaf green tea is excellent. I don't know what's wrong with the other reviewers. I figure they have there water scorching hot. This tea is perfect. Fresh and great smooth tasting. I don't really know why people hate on this tea it's top notch high quality. I was blown away these little green pellets expanded in the hot water defuser. And the light golden liqour is great aesthetically pleasing and the aroma is nice. There is a subtle astrigency in the flavor but over all it's just a smooth light yet bodyful green tea. I was able to make 3 eight ounces cups from 1 teaspoon of tea. I'd say the first and second were equilivant or close to each other the third infusion was slightly "lighter" but flavor was there. The first cup was awesome, second cup followed suite, third cup was okay, I mean that's practically 3 cups from 1 tsp. I can see the value in this for green tea drinkers. There was no bitterness detected whatsoever compared to Japanese Green Tea. The leaves didn't look stale they looked good when it expanded. Also expiration date was marked for 2020. The packaging is simple yet the amount you get is great. Because those little pellets do expand amazingly. I'd say Temple of Heaven is a great brand that provides quality green tea in the form of "gunpowder". My only gripe is that my infuser tends to leave "tea like dust" behind. Regardless of Tea Brand. But it's fine I don't let the "tea particles" left behind bother me, I got the same particles from Yamamoto brand Japanese Green Tea. And it was organic certified. I'd say this ToH Special Gunpowder Green Tea is an excellent buy. You can buy 1 kilo for less than $14 bucks. I bought this small amount because I wasn't sure what to expect. But I am happy with my purchase I only regert I didn't buy that 1 kilo box. I know I was raving about the aroma and the value. I forgot to mention this Green Tea does have a sweetness like taste to it. It's almost like a umami (savory n sweet). But it's different. It has subtle sweetness to it.Still feels healthy and refreshing to drink. I could see myself drinking this all day. I don't detect a "smokiness" maybe a slight smokey aroma. But the taste is smooth, with subtle sweetness and fresh. I can see why this variety of green tea is prized in china. I am glad for the high value in terms of quality and cost. I will be purchasing more of this tea when I run low. I'd probably buy that 1 kilo. China Green Tea Special Gunpowder 1 Kilo (1000grams or 35.27 Oz) Guaranteed Authenticity
