Gunpowder tea has been made and enjoyed for over a thousand years and continues to grow at a rapid rate. However, a great mystery surrounds its origins, from its overall history to the name by which it has long been known. Here are six unflavored gunpowder teas and one flavored gunpowder tea (Moroccan mint). Each one is just as delicious as the last, although each has its own unique qualities, which means one should know the difference between Gunpowder Green Tea.
Gunpowder Green Tea
Gunpowder green tea, with a distinctly traditional flavor and aroma, is best for those who prefer simplicity. It originated in Zhejiang Province, the home of gunpowder, and is a wonderful introduction to the world of these remarkable teas.
If you want to make your own Moroccan mint tea with your own mint leaves, this gunpowder tea is also a great base ingredient to get you started. Whether you want it as a stand-alone tea or a delicious addition, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better beer!
Gunpowder Temple of Heaven Tea
Once you are familiar with our teas, we recommend that you continue with our Gunpowder Tian Tan tea, which is a softer aroma than standard grade gunpowder tea. It delivers deliciousness on the palate without sacrificing its unique, irresistible flavor.
Additionally, Gunpowder Tiantan tea can be drunk throughout the day and brewed a second time for a milder taste. However, the choice is entirely yours.
Gunpowder Organic Green Tea
Want to do something for the environment? Choose Gunpowder Organic Green Tea because small changes can make a big difference. Like all organic teas, this particular tea is produced using controlled biological cultivation methods.
It is free of synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, ultimately maintaining soil and ecosystem health while combining tradition and scientific innovation to benefit the environment. What else can you get from your morning tea?
Gunpowder Formosa Green Tea
Across the Taiwan Strait, we have our Gunpowder Formosa Green Tea, grown between 1,500 and 2,500 feet above sea level, with quality and consistency fully factored in. In terms of taste and aroma, nothing beats this one, with a defined and mellow smoky flavor and grassy undertones in its crowning glory.
While some may choose to add lemon or honey, we recommend serving it without this accompaniment so that people can appreciate its excellent image.
Gunpowder Needle Green Tea
But don't be fooled into thinking that Gunpowder Needle Green Tea is like any other; in fact, our Gunpowder Needle Green Tea has a lot to offer those looking to break away from tradition.
While the drink is again sourced from Zhejiang province and once again adheres to traditional gunpowder production methods, it is also composed of unique flavors rarely found in any other gunpowder tea. If you don't believe it, try it yourself!
Gunpowder Black Tea
Finally, we have Gunpowder Black Tea, and it's easy to see why it's arguably the most "unique" of them all! It is a particularly rare and unusual tea from the Fujian province of China, sometimes referred to as "black pearl".
The gunpowder tea makers tell you that unlike many modern gunpowders, this black tea is blessed to be handcrafted to perfection. The word "perfect" also applies to its divinely rich flavor, which blends smoky and opulent to provide balance in every bite.
