What is Gunpowder Green Tea?

Gunpowder tea is a traditional Chinese green tea where the leaves are tightly rolled into small pellets. As the tea brews, these pellets gently unfurl, releasing a bold, slightly smoky flavour. It is commonly used as the base for mint tea due to its strength and depth.
