Ingredients
100 % Green tea GUNPOWDER TEMPLE OF HEAVENBrew & Taste
The dark yellow infusion and pleasant, smoky aroma make it clear that Gunpowder Temple of Heaven is not any old regular tea. The flavor is very distinctive, as if enveloped by a pleasant smokiness. The leaves are evenly rolled into small beads, so that even at a glance the tea is interesting.
Gunpowder is also suitable for making ice tea.
Origins
Green tea is to China's Zhejiang province what red wine is to Burgundy. Gunpowder (Zhu cha) is one of the traditional teas whose production is given the utmost care. Chinese tea trees (Camellia sinensis) have been tended by generations of farmers and their art has been passed down from generation to generation. The harvest is always in the hands of women and girls.
Their nimble and delicate fingers gently pluck the tea leaves, which they place in large baskets. The harvest has to be transported to the processing line quite quickly. The leaves are first spread out in the sun until they wilt, then roasted in large pans. This stops the enzymes oxidizing and preserves their green color and natural aroma. This is followed by rolling into neat little beads, often done by hand. Their appearance is probably the reason why the tea has its name, as some liken it to gunpowder. They also develop very quickly during brewing: one could say the leaves almost explode.
Thanks to their appearance, gunpowder can usually be identified even by a tea beginner. In the case of Temple of Heaven, the leaves are very dark green. You can tell they are fresh by their sheen, since old tea has a dull to greyish color.
