Description

Famous for its bold flavour and distinctive appearance, gunpowder tea has been a staple in Chinese tea culture for centuries. This organic gunpowder is made by rolling steamed green tea leaves into tight pellets - a technique that helps preserve freshness, aroma, and potency during storage and brewing.

Once steeped, the pellets unfurl to produce a strong, slightly smoky gunpowder infusion with a rich green hue and full-bodied taste. It’s a favourite among tea enthusiasts and a versatile base for functional blends, bottled beverages, and wellness formulations.

This premium quality gunpowder is crafted from organically grown leaves and offers a consistent, high-grade product ideal for manufacturing or at-home brewing. Though naturally containing caffeine, it has been known to deliver a smoother, longer-lasting lift than coffee.

If you’re seeking a natural tea ingredient with character, tradition, and a bit of flair, gunpowder tea is a standout choice. It’s also available in fine gunpowder powder form for easy blending into powdered mixes or encapsulated supplements.

History in every leaf, flavour in every cup - that’s the power of gunpowder.
