Gunpowder Pearls deliver a robust cup of tea. These pearls keep a solid flavor foundation with moderate astringency and a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of a black tea. The overtones are uniquely green, with subtle hints of tart fruit (green apple) and spring flowers. If you like a bold cup, give our Gunpowder Pearls a sip.

"Gunpowder" indicates the process of rolling tea leaves into round pellets, so that they resemble the namesake. You may find black or oolong gunpowder teas, but green tea is the most common.

Maybe you're trying to move away from coffee? This is a great bag to keep in your tea cabinet. Are you curious about gong fu? Get started with a flavor profile that adapts well to most any style of brewing. Cheers to finding your new tea ritual.

Miles ★★★★★

I was worried green tea would taste too grassy for me, but this one has a solid, almost black-tea backbone with just a hint of sweetness. The moderate astringency keeps it from feeling thin, and I've been reaching for it every morning instead of coffee.

Sofia ★★★★★

The little rolled pearls unfurl into a surprisingly dark, robust cup — much closer to a black tea than I expected from a green. That moderate astringency with the faint sweetness at the end is exactly what I want in the morning.

Steven D. ★★★★★

I was worried these would be too grassy, but the hint of sweetness and moderate astringency actually remind me more of a black tea. They stay flavorful through at least three steeps.
