What is Gunpowder Green Tea?

Gunpowder tea is a classic Chinese green tea made from leaves rolled into small pellets. As they unfurl during brewing, they release a bold, slightly smoky flavour with depth and structure.

It is widely used as the base for mint tea, particularly in Moroccan-style blends, due to its ability to balance freshness with body.
