One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.

Tea Education
Tea names from China often describe their appearance. Gunpowder gets its name because the tea resembles gunpowder pellets. The roll is achieved through expert manipulation of the leaves in a rocking motion to achieve the required level of roll. The tighter the roll, the better the grade. Ours is a Pinhead grade and describes a finished product with some tightly rolled leaf and some more open. Gunpowder is a good tea for Green tea novices. It has a mellowness and slight undernote of pleasant toastiness. It lacks the vegetal astringency of other Green teas such as Sencha. Gunpowder Green tea is a great value for the money as numerous infusions are possible from a scant teaspoon of leaf.

When I long for chocolate then drinking this chai is a great substitute.

Throughout the week, I rotate through different varieties of black tea. This bold, malty breakfast tea is one of my favorites and always on my rotation list! A perfect kick-start to the day or an afternoon pick-me-up.

A more robust Darjeeling
I know that first flush tea is highly esteemed for its elegant, delicate flavor but I like my teas a little stronger. This second flush Makaibari still has the distinctive fragrant, floral character of Darjeeling, but with bolder flavor for a great morning wake-me-up!

My husband and I found this tea ZingyZang about 15 years ago and have been drinking it since. We have tried many teas and consider ourselves tea snobs. We thoroughly enjoy this tea.
