Gunpowder

Green Tea by The Persimmon Tree Tea Company

These tender, young green tea leaves have been rolled into small spheres, resembling gunpowder that comprises and gives the name to our green organic Gunpowder tea. Stronger than most green loose-leaf teas, organic Gunpowder green tea produces a grassy infusion with a slightly smoky flavor. A deeply renewing pick-me-up any time of day.

I enjoyed this gunpowder, it’s creamy and a bit smoky – perfect for mixing with mint for my own Moroccan Mint blend! Yummeh,

Gunpowder is the green tea my humans drink most, so they should have tasted ’em all, right? Wrong! This version lifts gunpowder from the mundane. Even this humble little teapot thinks so. http://lyt-tea-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/review-persimmon-tree-teas-gunpowder.html
