 | Gunpowder (a.k.a. Pearl Tea, Zhu Cha)
| Season: | Spring 2009 |  | | Origin: | Fujian Province | |
The leaves of this tea are rolled into the shape of little pellets resembling gunpowder, hence its name. Gunpowder tastes thick and strong, with a subtle hint of smoky flavor and a slight aftertaste. Many people consider this variety of tea to be the typical green tea of the west, likely a result of it being one of the first high volume green tea exports from China. |
