↑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.

Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ChinaJul. 12th, 2025

This is one of the best green teas I ever had. Rich flavour, very decent aroma. No bad pre- or aftertaste. I couldn't stop drinking this tea until I had finished the box. Highly recommended!

Fairly bland Chinese dark green tea. Being organic is not always enough, apparently.

Special Grade Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Green from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ChinaJan. 23rd, 2019
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.
