Gunpowder tea, a type of Chinese green tea, is named for its distinctive appearance: each leaf is tightly rolled into a small pellet resembling gunpowder. This rolling process preserves its freshness and flavor. Gunpowder tea features a bold, slightly smoky taste with a hint of sweetness, offering a robust and invigorating tea experience. Its moderate caffeine content makes it suitable for an energy boost any time of the day, while its unique flavor appeals to tea enthusiasts seeking something distinct.
