Superior Gunpowder
Green Tea
Surprising body and captivation green tea taste with a hint of oakiness.
Gunpowder teas are primarily produced in the town of Pingshui in the mountainous Guiji region of the province in China. The technique for their production has remained virtually unchanged since the Tang dynasty (AD 618-907) & what a production it is. After plucking, each individual leaf is rubbed & twisted by hand then dried by stir-frying in a large pan. Depending on the quality of the leaf, ambient humidity & temperature, up to 4 rounds of stir-fry drying may be required. Although in recent years this process has been sped up somewhat through the limited use of mechanical equipment, the necessity of hand-rolling the tea intis signature shape is still incredibly labor intensive.
The end result of all this work is a fabulous cup that has long been prized by Chinese & Westerners alike.
