Details
This is extra-fine Pinhead Gunpowder tea grown in China. Dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), this tea gets its name from its resemblance to gunpowder—the young green tea leaves are rolled into very small pellets before pan firing. Gunpowder tea is known for its strong flavor and dark colored brew.
This tea is sold loose leaf, meaning it will not arrive packed in tea bags.

Steeping Instructions:
- 1 Teaspoon per cup
- Use water that is approximately 165 degrees Fahrenheit (Water that is boiling will “cook” green and white teas, causing a bitter, unpleasant taste)
- Steep for 1-2.5 minutes (over steeping green teas will also cause bitterness)
