Gunpowder Tea

$5.10 – $9.00

Gunpowder Green Tea from China. This tea is growing in popularity, a little naturally on the bitter side. The leaves are rolled into small balls while wet, giving it a unique characteristic. These small balls resemble “gun pellets” which one might say “gunpowder tea” obtained its name from.

After pouring the hot water on these little balls of fire – watch them unfold into a slightly bitter brew. Remember green teas don’t usually like that boiling water – so take the pot to the tea, which will cool it down enough for the “greens”. And only steep those 1-2 minutes. Gunpowder is a tad bitter on its own, so don’t think you brewed it too long 🙂 NO FRILLS PACKAGING means you’ll get your tea in a Glassine Lined bag instead of the fancy labeled “normal canister or package” AND we add a little more tea for less money!

SERVINGS Small: Loose 15 / Bags 10 Large: Loose 30 / Bags 20Darjeelings are often called the "Champagne of Tea", grown in altitudes of 6000 feet have a delicate aroma. Darjeelings have a very limited harvest season (usually only twice a year - 1st and 2nd Flush) which accounts for its "higher price" as a tea. The first flush produces a light yellow to copper-red brew color with a delicate flowery aroma. The second flush turns a more fruity and nutty character tea.

SERVINGS Small: Loose 15 / Bags 10 Large: Loose 30 / Bags 20Green Rooibos (roy-bus) is the traditional Rooibos, but like a green is to a black tea, it's not processed as long. This is believed to give it a sweeter taste and more antioxidants. NO FRILLS PACKAGING means you'll get your tea in a Glassine Lined bag instead of the fancy labeled "normal canister or package" AND we add a little more tea for less money! SERVINGS Small: Loose 15 / Bags 10 Large: Loose 30 / Bags 20Chun Mee is our China Green Tea. In contrast to the Japanese Greens, it has a sweeter after taste. Also called the "Eyebrow Tea" because many of the leaves processed are hand rolled and thus can curl up. Most Chun Mee teas exported are processed in part by machines, so the true hand rolling of all Chun Mee teas may be a bit exaggerated, but they do have a curled and Dryer appearance in contrast to the Sencha (Japan). NO FRILLS PACKAGING means you'll get your tea in a Glassine Lined bag instead of the fancy labeled "normal canister or package" AND we add a little more tea for less money! SERVINGS Small: Loose 15 / Bags 10 Large: Loose 30 / Bags 20Rooibos (Roy-Bus)- This is one of those tisanes that is referred to in America as a "Red Tea". It's from the southern cape of South Africa, being naturally Caffeine Free it makes a great night time tea! The bonus... It has more antioxidants and minerals than even Green/White teas. Having no tannins, it won't get bitter... meaning you can't screw it up steeping!!! It's great cold. And I LOVE the color of the brew- a deep red. It has a sweet smoky taste, allowing many flavors and herbs to dance well with it. In South Africa, mothers give cooled rooibos to colicky babies, as it soothes the stomach. We strongly believe there are beneficial properties to many herbs; but again, we don't advocate any medicinal affects/effects of any herbs. So PLEASE check with a professional and do your research on any/all herbs you want to experiment with.Fine Ti Kuan Yin, is our China Oolong. It's smoother than the Formosa. The leaves aren't as course as our Oolong from Taiwan, which usually gives you that hint it'll be a little mellow. A great Oolong on its own- but being on the "less woodsy" side any herbs added seem to peek their heads out more. NO FRILLS PACKAGING means you'll get your tea in a Glassine Lined bag instead of the fancy labeled "normal canister or package" AND we add a little more tea for less money!
