Gunpowder Green

When John Harney started in the tea trade over 30 years ago, there were just two green tea offerings from China: Gunpowder and Chun Mee. Many people are very familiar with and enjoy the charred, sharp flavor.

Our Review

This is the green tea that many of us and our parents grew up with. Many of us crave its roasted and assertive flavors. It is made from the tougher leaves. These leaves are fixed green and then fired for an extended period in a hot rotating oven.

Iced and Hot this is wondrful Tea

Average Review:

Having been raised on iced tea I searched for a highquality tea to continue the tradition. The smokey tea flavor is quite wonderful.

Darren 5/16/11

Not for people who like smoky flavors

Average Review:

I'm always a big fan of trying new teas, but I was not a big fan of this one. The smoke taste is a bit overpowering and it doesn't allow you to get to taste the green tea. If you want a green tea try genmaicha or organic sencha, those are my favorites

Great!

Average Review:

I always try some new teas when I place an order. I tried a 4 ounce tin of the Gunpowder Green. My next order, I ordered a pound of it. I think that says what I thought of it, if not why.

gunpowder tea

A wonderful tea, it is very good as an ice tea. It is the only ice tea my husband will drink.

Great with the addition of mint

On its own, an assertive green tea with nice charred vegetal flavors.
