Green Gunpowder - green tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

What is green gunpowder green tea?

Green gunpowder green tea is a style of loose leaf green tea where the leaves are hand-rolled into small, tight granules. The name comes from the resemblance of these little pellets to grains of gunpowder. When you add hot water, the granules slowly unfurl and return to their original leaf shape, releasing a highly aromatic and mild flavour.

Hand-rolled for a reason

Rolling the leaves by hand into granules is a traditional craft technique. The compact shape protects the leaf and locks in aroma until the moment you brew. The result is a large, loose structure in the cup that gives the tea room to open fully and develop its character.

• Leaves are hand-rolled into small granules
• Granules unfurl to their original shape when brewed
• Large and loose leaf structure in the cup
• Highly aromatic and mild in character
• 100 grams of loose tea per pack

How do you use green gunpowder green tea?

Brewing green gunpowder green tea is straightforward. Use a teapot or infuser that gives the granules space to unfurl fully. Water that is too hot can make green tea taste bitter, so let freshly boiled water cool for a moment before pouring. A short steep time keeps the flavour mild and aromatic.

Step-by-step brewing guide

1. Measure roughly one teaspoon of granules per cup into your infuser or teapot
2. Heat water to around 70 to 80 degrees Celsius — not a full rolling boil
3. Pour the water over the granules and watch them begin to unfurl
4. Steep for two to three minutes
5. Remove the leaves and enjoy straight away

A 100-gram pack gives you approximately 40 to 50 cups, depending on how strong you like your tea. You can re-steep the same leaves once or twice to get more from each measure.
