Gunpowder Green

Green Tea by First Class Teas

The Chinese invented gunpowder and are the top producers of Green tea, so (with dubious logic) it’s no surprise that this deliciously healthy green tea, with a pleasantly light tannic aftertaste, is a corker. And it represents great value too for a bio-organically produced tea. Perhaps try it with some crystalline stem ginger, another winning Chinese invention.

Even after several posts on this, it’s still good! For no articular reason, I often drink this without straining it – the tea leaves taste okay

I bought myself a thermometer, and boy, does it make a difference to my tea! I’m on a second brewing and it’s so soft and sweet, I’m never going to sleep…

Six large cups on a work night is probably not a good idea, but it’s so more-ish and very easy. I start with half a teaspoon and for each extra cup I add another half dozen or so ‘cannonballs’. Mmm mmm, I hope I can sleep tonight

I made this using my infuser so I’d just gt one cup. Left it slightly longer than I normally would, and it was strong but sill not bitter. What a lovely way to finish the evening

Unlike the darjeeling earlier, I prepared this well, using water at well under boiling point and leaving it for around two minutes. So gooood!
