↑About Black Gunpowder
Black gunpowder is a style of black tea that has been tightly rolled into round pellets and has a grayish color. Normally, "gunpowder tea" refers to gunpowder green tea. The black style of tea is less common. Unlike its green cousin, it does not have a smoky aroma.
The only thing that the two teas have in common is that they tend to be produced in China and that they are rolled into a similar shape. Many oolongs are also rolled into a similar shape, but these teas are usually not referred to as "gunpowder", in part because their colors tend to range through greens and deep browns.

The dry leaves are a lovely dull brown colour. I just really like the look of them.
I'm having slightly mixed feelings. It is flowery as advertised, but it's also a bit "dull" in a way that cheap teabags often are. Maybe I used too much tea or let it steep for too long. Or maybe too many leaves and not steeped long ...
