Organic Gun Powder Green Tea

Green Tea by Mountain Rose Herbs

A hearty, strong, green tea that is rolled in small pellets and was aptly awarded its title, because of its resemblance to the pellets used for gunpowder ammunitions during the 17th century. Originally rolled tightly to preserve freshness and maintain moisture during long voyages overseas, it still holds true as an unsurpassable fresh tea that is full of dark bold color and a striking taste that is unforgettable. Gunpowder tea is astringent and mildly bitter and you can add a very small pinch of Stevia or Spearmint to soften the taste. Contains caffeine.

This Organic Gun Powder tea is wonderful. It’s my old standby for a great cup of tea. I like the back sides of the tongue bitters you get from it. Don’t over steep it cause it will be super bitter. Maybe good for some folks stomachs… but not my taste buds! It’s also a really good price. Under $20 for a pound. Get some!
