This organic tea is characterized by its slightly tangy and refreshing flavour. It has a hand rolled leaf and is produced in the Wuyan area in the Jiangxi province. A firm favourite in our shop.
As the name implies, Gunpowder tea resembles gunpowder pellets, which give this tea its distinct name. Full-bodied cup with only a hint of smokiness and a smooth mouth-feel.
The better part of all green tea produced worldwide comes from China, the "motherland" of tea. Green teas – unlike black teas – are not fermented. The colour of the leaves varies from light green and shiny silver to a dark emerald green, the infusion is light. Depending on the type of tea and the preparation, the flavour ranges from slightly tart to pleasantly sweetish and aromatic.
In general, green teas are not prepared with boiling hot water, instead the water is allowed to cool down to the desired temperature. Recommendations for the preparation of green tea are as manifold as the tea leaves, growing areas and processing. Depending on the type of tea and personal preference, the recommended water
temperature ranges from 70 to 90 degrees Celsius and the brewing time from one to three minutes. The rule of thumb is: the better the tea, the lower the water temperature and the longer the brewing time. Green teas should definitely be infused several times. Many tea lovers particularly prefer the second and third infusion.
