We like to think it also refers to the tiny explosion that happens on your taste-buds with every sip.

Experience a beautifully delicate green tea with a wonderful thirst quenching taste, a cup of gunpowder green tea will brighten up even the greyest of afternoons.

We believe that how you make your Gunpowder Green loose tea is equally as important as the tea you use, so here are our tips:

- Use freshly drawn cold water
- Use water that is "restless" (75?C) but not yet at a “rolling boil”
- For best results – use a teapot! Use 1 teaspoon of tea per person (“one for the pot” isn’t needed!) or for convenience in an individual cup with a strainer
- Steep for 1 to 3 minutes (or to your taste) - be careful, over-brewed green tea is bitter
- Always without milk
- your tin is perfect for keeping your tea fresh - cool, dark, dry and airtight!

Many people think that Green Tea comes from a different plant to Black Tea, but in fact:

- Just like black tea, green tea comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant
- The difference between green and black teas? black tea is fermented, green is not
- Tea that will become green tea is lightly steamed or fried to prevent fermentation
- It's then twisted & rolled, freeing the aromatic juices that you'll enjoy later!
- Gentle heating follows to nearly completely remove the water
- The leaves are then graded by shape / age
... the result - a flavour more closely related to the original tea leaf than black tea!

Green Tea is a natural source of antioxidants that may help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.
