China Gunpowder

Taste: China Gunpowder is distinguished by a more intense, distinctive flavor than most classic green teas. The infusion is slightly herbal, subtly smoky and pleasantly fresh, with a slight bitterness and a distinctive, lingering finish.

Aromat: Distinctive, fresh and slightly smoky. There are herbal notes and the characteristic vegetal intensity typical of Gunpowder tea.

Dried appearance: Fine leaves tightly rolled into small balls with an olive-green and slightly grayish hue. The dryness is compact, firm and very characteristic of this classic Chinese tea.

Dry ingredients: green tea 100%

Country of origin: China

Preparation suggestion: Pour about 2-3 grams of tea into 200 ml of 75-80°C water and brew for about 2 minutes. Shorter brewing will preserve the freshness and softer notes, while longer brewing will bring out the more pronounced, slightly smoky character of the brew.

Gunpowder is also well suited for subsequent brewing - subsequent infusions will be milder, but still retain their characteristic depth of flavor.

Classic:
Brewed briefly at a lower temperature, it strikes a balance between freshness and characteristic intensity. It tastes best served in simple porcelain bowls, which accentuate the golden color of the brew.

For oriental dishes:
Its distinct profile pairs well with Asian cuisine, rice and more flavorful dishes. The tea subtly cleanses the flavor and balances the spices well.

Cold brew:
When brewed cold, it becomes fresher and slightly citrusy, while retaining its distinctive herbal profile. It's a refreshing option for warmer days.

Signature: a tea ritual with character:
Gunpowder is best found in quiet moments, when one can fully focus on its more intense aroma and deeper flavor. The warm brew, natural light and simplicity of serving create an atmosphere inspired by the traditional Chinese art of tea drinking.
