Details & Ingredients (click here)

Origin: This Black Gunpowder Pearl tea comes from the eastern part of the Fujian Province of China. Its English name comes from the tea’s resemblance to grains of gunpowder. Gunpowder tea production in China dates back to the Tang Dynasty 618–907.

Each leaf has been rolled into a small round pellet. The constant rotation gives the tea its spherical form. Rolling also renders the leaves less susceptible to physical damage and breakage allowing them to retain more of their flavor and aroma. Shiny pellets indicate that the tea is relatively fresh, and the pellet size is associated with its quality, High quality gunpowder tea will have small, tightly rolled pellets. This type of tightly rolled tea will also stay fresher longer due to its compressed form.

1 level teaspoon (or 2.5 grams) per 8oz cup of less than boiled water, preferably 200F or less. Also, these leaves will unfurl while steeping, and reveal themselves to be much larger than you will initially expect.

*Brewing Tip: Traditionally when preparing Chinese teas, an initial rinsing of the leaves will help to awaken the tea, especially teas that are tightly rolled like a Pearl. Measure out your desired amount of tea. Pour less-than boiled water over the leaves till covered. Swirl the leaves in the water for approximately 10 seconds. You’ll see that the leaves have started to “relax”. Discard this water. Now begin brewing your cup of tea, pouring fresh water over the enlivened leaves, and steeping for 1-2 minutes. When you steep a cup of Gunpowder Pearl tea, each individual leaf will unfold. Once brewed, if you find the flavor to be too strong or tangy, try pouring away the first brew and taste the second. A lot of the caffeine content will also be eliminated in this way. This tea is an excellent choice for multiple steepings.

Sample size provides at least 4 servings. 1.5oz pkg provides at least 17 brewed cups. Adjust the amount of tea according to your personal taste. Use more tea for a stronger brew. Use less tea for a milder flavor.
