China Gun Powder

This is my first gunpowder and I really like it! The smokiness really stands out in both aroma and flavor. Since this is my first one I’m not sure about the quality; the leaves after steeping look small and broken but not really bad. I bought this in bulk at a local grocery store and I am under the impression it wasn’t very fresh; I am a little ashamed to say I still like it! =) Now I’m really looking forward to trying more gunpowders!

I’ve never had gunpowder tea before and very rarely drink green tea, but I really like this. I’m not sure if I taste the smoky flavor, to me it is more of a warm, toasty flavor (kind of like caramel). Prepared with stevia.
