↑About Gunpowder Green Tea

Gunpowder tea is also produced in Taiwan, where it is sometimes called Formosa gunpowder, and in Sri Lanka, where it can be called Ceylon gunpowder.
Occasionally, other teas are rolled into pellets in a similar way. Black gunpowder is one such style of tea, although it is much less common. Generally "gunpowder tea" refers to the smokey green tea. Many oolong teas are also rolled into pellets similarly, although they rarely bear the name "gunpowder".
Gunpowder tea originated in Zhejiang province in China, but it is now produced elsewhere as well. Gunpowder tea is generally inexpensive, and even many of the high-quality gunpowder teas tend to be very reasonably priced.

A good inexpensive Chinese green. Fairly sharp and peppery on the palate. The earthy, leafy aroma is quite nice. You could certainly do worse at this price.

I enjoy this green tea because it is very smooth and is definitely less astringent than many other green teas I’ve had. It still does have a slight astringent aftertaste in my throat but...

Gunpowder Green Tea (Loose) from Pure Leaf
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: IndonesiaJun. 13th, 2018
This is one of the cheapest loose leaf teas I've ever seen, so I'm trying not to judge it to harshly, but it's just not very good. It's smoky, of course, but not too much if the temperature isn't too high. The overall flavor is vegetal, tasting like cooked carrots and green beans to me. It's pretty sour and astringent,...
