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.

These little pearls brew up a deep, almost smoky cup with that hint of sweetness the description mentions — it really does drink like a mellow black tea. Perfect for when you want green tea with some real backbone.

I was expecting plain green tea but this drinks almost like a black tea, that malty sweetness caught me off guard. The moderate astringency keeps it from going flat, so I can steep a second cup without it tasting weak.

Wasn't expecting a green tea to remind me of black tea, but these pearls really do — malty and sweet underneath the astringency. The leaves unfold slowly so I get three solid steeps out of one spoonful.
