Several dark green leaves are shaped into even rolls and stacked closely together. The leaf veins and serrated edges are clearly visible.

It’s fireworks every time.

In Chinese, Gunpowder tea is called zhū chá – “pearl tea”. With its leaves rolled into pellets, it is probably the most famous Chinese green tea.

The origin of today’s name “Gunpowder” is not very clear: on the one hand, the dark balls look a little like gunpowder. In addition, when immersed in hot water, they “explode” as the leaf unfolds.

It is also possible that the English name “Gunpowder” comes from the Mandarin-Chinese term for “freshly brewed” – “gāng pào de” –, which sounds like “gunpowder”.

You would be amiss not to experience this taste explosion for yourself – try it!
