China Gunpowder

Muddy looking. Smells more mellow or flat than more gunpowders I have tried…

It’s not awful. Actually…it’s pretty tame. Tastes more like a usual green tea and not a gunpowder.

Not really sure how to rate this one…because it’s not yucky but it’s not what I would call a green tea. I was thinking about rating it on taste but that wouldn’t be the gunpowder rating…so…I might just stay neutral on it.

Again not a bad taste…mellow

but not necessarily a gunpowder taste or feel in my book either. If you are looking for a true gunpowder this isn’t it. If you want to drink a cup to drink a cup…it’s not bad.

The tea it makes is pretty dark for a green tea, it tasted kinda grassy with a bit of astringent bitterness at the beginning. I’m not sure if the latter is because I steeped it too long (4 min) or if the water I used was too hot. This is another one I want to play around with before I can say if I like it or not, but as of right now I’m not really feeling the love.
