What is

Gun Powder ?

On a basic level, gunpowder green tea is just a type of green tea. It gets its name because the tea leaves are rolled up into tiny balls. This makes it look like gunpowder.

Additionally, this green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The tea is originally from China, but today, the tea is now grown in China, Taiwan, and Sri Lanka. The different locations all have slightly different variations of the tea.

There are numerous gunpowder tea benefits. This is because the tea holds its nutrients better than others. When it is rolled up in the tiny balls, the tea can hold nutrients and caffeine. Thus, gunpowder tea has higher caffeine levels than other teas. The rolled leaves can keep their taste and properties for over 10 years.
