Tea Story

Gunpowder green tea, with its unique appearance and powerful character, dates back to the Tang Dynasty, over a thousand years ago.

The name "Gunpowder" was coined by Western traders who were fascinated by the tea's resemblance to tiny pellets of gunpowder.

Beyond its striking appearance lies a tea that is as much about strength as it is about tradition.

The leaves are carefully hand-rolled into tight, shiny pearls, a process that preserves their freshness and concentrates their flavor. As these pearls unfurl in hot water, they release the essence of the land where they were grown — earthy, smoky, and deeply satisfying.

Gunpowder tea is a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of Chinese tea makers.
