CHOTA TINGRAI GUNPOWDER TEA
Gunpowder green tea is a unique variety distinguished by its distinctive production method, in which whole tea leaves are carefully rolled into small, round pellets. The English name is inspired by the striking resemblance of these pellets to gunpowder. This unique process not only enhances the tea's flavour but also contributes to its captivating appearance, making it a favourite among tea enthusiasts. This specialised rolling technique not only enhances the tea's flavour but also results in a higher caffeine content compared to regular green tea, with approximately 35-40 mg of caffeine per 8 oz (230 g) serving. Consequently, Gunpowder green tea has become a favoured choice among athletes seeking to enhance their endurance. The tea is celebrated for its bold, mildly smoky flavour profile, making it a popular ingredient in the preparation of Moroccan Mint tea. Furthermore, the compressed form of Gunpowder tea leaves allows for prolonged freshness compared to other green tea varieties. With its vibrant earthy and smoky notes, complemented by a smooth finish, this exceptional tea provides a delightful experience that invigorates and energizes throughout the day.
