Lorsque John Harney a débuté dans le commerce du thé il y a plus de 30 ans, il n'existait que deux thés verts en provenance de Chine : le Gunpowder et le Chun Mee. Bien que notre sélection se soit considérablement élargie depuis, beaucoup de personnes connaissent et apprécient toujours la saveur vive et torréfiée du Gunpowder.
The pellets unfurl into a surprisingly smooth, grassy cup that still has that classic punchy bite I look for in gunpowder. I've been brewing it in my gaiwan all week and the leaves hold up beautifully for three steeps.
These little rolled pellets are such a classic green tea choice, and the flavor is clean and slightly smoky with a nice, steady kick of energy. I've been brewing it in my office mug all week, and the leaves keep their character for two solid infusions.
The little rolled leaves have that classic, slightly smoky scent I remember from my first cup decades ago, and the flavor is just as clean and straightforward as it should be. It’s become my daily afternoon pick-me-up, simple and reliable.
