I found this tea company recently, and they’re quite different from what’s out there. Instead of a tea bag, they use a custom made “tea ball”. I’m going to try their other teas soon, but so far the Gunpowder tea has been very impressive because there was no harsh flavour or unpleasant bitterness. I was able to reuse the same tea ball for 3 cups of team, and the flavour actually improved the longer it sat in the water. Normally if I leave tea to steep longer than 3-4 minutes it becomes very bitter and unpleasant. Not so with this tea. Again, very impressed.
Gunpowder
Green Tea by G.H. Ford Tea Company
Only the most tender buds and leaf hips are specially rolled into tiny pellets (herein the name) that unfurl when brewed, producing a very light-bodied, gentle green tea.
