Organic Gunpowder Supreme | Green Tea
Ordinarily, Gunpowder is bitter and strong green tea often blended with sugar and mint to make it palatable. Jing has been asking a couple of gardens it works with to try making a supreme gunpowder with early spring tea which gives a light and deliciously sweet flavour.
Gunpowder tea dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618–907). It is believed to take its English name from the fact that the tea resembles gunpowder pellets used for cannons. Another theory is that it may come from the Mandarin Chinese term gāng paò dè, which means "freshly brewed," and sounds like the English word "gunpowder."
This tea is IMO Fair Trade certified. Jing Tea supports producers to ensure equitable working conditions.
