Ingredients
100 % Green tea China GUNPOWDER GOLDEN TEMPLEBrew & Taste
Gunpowder is characterized by a greenish-yellow infusion with a rich but delicate taste. Although its astringency is at its peak, it is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it adds a freshness to the tea.
Origins
This unique green tea is one of the popular and sought-after delicacies. Tea leaves neatly rolled into tiny pearls have been used since the Tang Dynasty (618-907) under the name Zhu Cha. It was only over time that this green tea acquired the nickname gunpowder. It probably came about by mistake, since its appearance resembles a gunpowder bead.
China's Zhejiang (or Chekiang) province, which is home to gunpowder, lies on the eastern coast. Most of its area is covered by hills. Zhejiang has a humid subtropical climate with distinct four seasons.
Summers (June-September) are long, hot and rainy. Winters are short, autumn tends to be dry and sunny. The average annual temperature varies between 15-19°C. These conditions suit the Chinese tea plant (Camellia sinesis), which covers a large part of the mountain slopes. The tea gardens are the wealth of the local farmers and the care of the bushes and the process of making tea is handed down from generation to generation.
After harvesting, the tea leaves and buds are left to wilt and then hand packed into tiny balls. The leaves are then roasted on large pans and dried at the same time. This is why gunpowder has an original smoky aroma.
