Dammann Freres Gunpowder Green Tea
Dammann Freres Gunpowder is a classic Chinese green tea known for its compact rolled pearls and bright, refreshing cup. Dammann Freres describes it as a lively and astringent tea that makes a fresh, thirst-quenching infusion, traditionally used to prepare famous mint tea.
This box of 25 Cristal® sachets offers a convenient way to enjoy that distinctive Gunpowder character while retaining a premium presentation suited to regular everyday brewing.
Bright, Brisk and Refreshingly Vegetal
In the cup, this Dammann Freres Gunpowder brews to a clear yellow-green liquor with a fresh, lively profile. The character is brisk and slightly astringent, with the clean vegetal quality associated with traditional Gunpowder green tea.
It is a tea with more presence than many delicate greens, making it especially satisfying for drinkers who enjoy a sharper, more invigorating cup.
A Classic Green Tea for Mint Tea Preparation
Gunpowder green tea has long been associated with the preparation of Moroccan-style mint tea, and Dammann Freres specifically notes this traditional use. Its bold green tea structure stands up beautifully to fresh mint and sweetness, while remaining equally enjoyable served plain.
