China Gunpowder

Gunpowder (meaning gunpowder) is the name given to tea with leaves rolled up to form tea balls of small diameter, hard to the touch, with a gray-green hue. China Gunpowder comes from China's Anhwei province where it is produced during an extremely short harvest. In China, this type of tea is called pearl tea. Gunpowder green tea is characterized by a very pronounced bitter taste and a golden color of the infusion. Green tea is obtained by subjecting the leaves to drying immediately after they are plucked from the bush, so as not to start the oxidation process. This allows green tea to retain more of the ingredients with medicinal properties. Green tea has a very herbal aroma and a noticeably milder taste than other types of tea. The most popular varieties of green tea are: Sencha, Genmaicha and Gunpowder. Green teas are particularly popular in China and Japan.
