A particularly fine example of gunpowder green tea. Each leaf has been rolled into a small round bundle. Rolling the tea renders it less susceptible to physical damage and allows the tea to retain more of the flavour and aroma. This is a superior version of Gunpowder known as Zucha or Pearl Tea. The tea is dried in rolling drums and the constant rotation gives the tea its spherical form. It has a greenish dry golden liquor much appreciated throughout the Middle East with a light smoke and nutty character.

This is a great gunpowder - highly recommend
Gunpowder "TEMPLE OF HEAVEN"
A little too sweet an after taste in comparison to some Taiwan gunpowder teas I have had in the past.
A slightly savoury tea, which can be brewed as required. Lovely.
Just ordered one pack to see what the quality was like. Found this and the website, ordering and delivery all excellent, but especially the quality of the tea, so will be ordering more soon.
So pleased you like our Temple of Heaven - it’s one of favourites too!
