Gunpowder MInt

This type of delicious Chinese green tea is centuries old. Rolled to protect the quality of the tea leaves and preserve freshness, this green tea delivers a full-bodied cup with occasional smoky notes and a lingering citrus flavor. Mixed with fresh mint leaves, this is special treat!  Gunpowder teas get their name from the nugget-like appearance of the rolled green leaves that collectively resemble a store of gunpowder.
