Ketika John Harney memulai bisnis teh lebih dari 30 tahun yang lalu, hanya ada dua jenis teh hijau dari Tiongkok: Gunpowder dan Chun Mee. Meskipun pilihan kami telah berkembang pesat sejak saat itu, banyak orang yang sangat mengenal dan menikmati rasa tajam serta gosong dari 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.
