TeaBrat drank Gunpowder Green by Numi Organic Tea

2816 tasting notes

I don’t normally drink a lot of bagged tea but I picked this up to take on a trip I am going on soon and teabags are just so much more convenient than carrying around your brewing stuff.

I don’t believe I have ever had a gunpowder green before and this is very intriguing. Vegetal, but also very earthy and with a taste of smoke in the finish like a lapsang souchong (hence, the gunpowder green name, I guess). This definitely seems like a nice afternoon tea but not something I’d want to drink first thing in the morning.

Organic, free trade, biodegradable teabags – all a plus! Nice, I’m glad I tried it.

Bio

My profile pic is of a pink dahlia at Golden Gate Park.

Hobbies include: tea, making art, animals, vegan things, buddhism, nature, creativity, books, writing, cooking, meditation, yoga.

I am a fan of many different teas but my favorites are blacks and oolongs, chai, also like darjeeling and pu-erh. I’n always learning and expanding my horizons!

Dislikes include: bergamot, jasmine, highly tannic or bitter teas, overly judgmental and bitter people. :)

Live in San Francisco, I’m a SINK (single income, no kids) and love the urban life, but traveling out to the middle of nowhere is always fun too.

I tend to not drink things I know I will hate so a lot of my tea ratings are on the higher side. Here’s my rating system, sorta

95-100 I love this tea and would like to keep it around

89-80 Pretty good, above average

79-70 Acceptable
