Gunpowder Pinhead

Description

This gunpowder tea from the Anhui province in Eastern China is very tightly rolled to the size of a pinhead with the aid of steam.
Thereafter, this leaf opens up when steeped in hot water to reveal a light smoke and nutty character with a hint of sweet chestnuts and oak, arising from its greenish golden liquor and dry finish.
No need for milk or any additions, Gunpowder tea has been enjoyed by the Chinese both as a refreshing and a healthy drink, packed with anti-oxidants.
Brew with freshly boiled water that has been allowed to cool for two minutes.
