Gunpowder Green Tea

Gunpowder Green Tea

If you are looking for a smooth and satisfying green tea that can also boost your health, try our Gunpowder Green Tea. This tea is made from machine-rolled green tea leaves that are pan-fired to give them a slightly baked, crisp, and vegetal flavor. The tea leaves are rolled into small, tight pellets that resemble gunpowder, hence the name.

When you steep our Gunpowder Green Tea, each individual leaf unrolls or “explodes” in your cup, releasing a lightly smoky taste and aroma. The tea has a yellow-green color with some particulate, and a smoky, vegetal, and herbaceous aroma. The taste is toasty, smoky, vegetal, and crisp, with a smooth and satisfying mouthfeel and a pleasant aftertaste.

Our Gunpowder Green Tea is not only delicious, but also beneficial for your health. Some of the health benefits of this tea are:
It is rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, which can protect the cells from free radical damage and may lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.
It may aid digestion and gut health, as the roasted green tea leaves are high in fiber and may stimulate bile production and nutrient absorption.
It may help with weight loss, as the green tea can boost metabolism and regulate blood sugar levels, and the roasted green tea leaves can suppress appetite.
It may improve brain function and mental health, as the green tea contains caffeine and theanine, which can enhance alertness, mood, and cognitive performance .
