Product Information

It can, for example, reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, all the while boosting immunity and even promoting weight loss. After tasting this tea my memory came back and my wife and I both said at the same time, it's that same green tea. The result is a mix of deep dark green, tightly wrapped tea leaves with light green, curled and torn whole American Spearmint leaves.

I first encountered this tea at a now sadly gone Chinese supermarket which wasn't far from the Broadmarsh Centre in Nottingham. When steeped in hot water, the tightly rolled pellets gently unfurl to produce a deliciously fragrant and dark-colored tea. It is very unique as the whole leaves have been rolled up into small, tight pellets which open up and expand when in contact with hot water. I have found in the past that people who try Green tea and previously only drunk the 'run of the mill' daily tea, may not appreciate Green Tea, as it is very different. Inferior grade leaf teas produce harsh flavours and cloudy liquors and therefore are often blended with flavours to add appeal and value, to what would otherwise be a cheap product.

Not only does it boast a rich green tea flavour, our Gunpowder Supreme is also packed with antioxidants and is known to aid healthy digestion, making it a wonderfully restorative, soothing infusion.

Gunpowder green tea is a versatile tea, it can be enjoyed with savoury appetisers such as cucumber sandwiches or enjoyed with delicate dumplings, its slightly smoky flavour compliments a variety of dishes that are savoury as well as being enjoyed on its own, it can also be infused several times to create new nuances of flavours. A recent study has established that when you put Gunpowder Green Tea vs Sencha, the former appears to have a higher antioxidant capacity. Arguably Gunpowder tea is the most popular tea in the world and we have seen Chinese Gunpowder being enjoyed in rural West Africa, the Bazaar’s and Souks of North Africa (see also Moroccan Mint Green Tea) as well as in some of the finest tea houses in Paris, London and the rest of the UK. No one is sure who created the original Earl Grey blend or indeed what it was like but we are confident that our use of the genuine, highest quality ingredients will make you feel that you have only really now discovered the real Earl Grey yourself.
