Description
Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea by Health Embassy is a classic variety of loose-leaf green tea, known for its tightly rolled, pellet-shaped leaves that resemble grains of gunpowder. This traditional tea undergoes a careful drying and rolling process that helps preserve its bold flavour, distinct aroma, and long shelf life. Sourced from established tea-growing regions and hand-packed for quality, this product is ideal for green tea enthusiasts who appreciate strong, refreshing brews with a natural vegetal finish.
Unlike lighter green teas, Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea delivers a more robust taste with a toasty depth. Its signature shape allows the leaves to unfurl slowly during brewing, releasing flavour in layers and creating a bold, aromatic cup. Whether enjoyed plain or used as a base for blends, this tea offers a consistently vibrant experience.
About the Tea and Its Origins
Gunpowder green tea has been produced for centuries, with origins tracing back to ancient Chinese tea-making traditions. Its unique name comes from the visual resemblance of its rolled leaves to grains of old-fashioned gunpowder. This shape is not merely aesthetic – the tight roll helps preserve freshness and flavour during storage and transport.
Our Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea is crafted using traditional techniques to retain its characteristic appearance, deep green colour, and slightly smoky notes. The result is a high-quality tea that brews into a golden-green liquor with a full-bodied, grassy flavour.
Flavour Profile and Appearance
When brewed, Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea produces a deep yellow-green infusion with a bold, slightly smoky aroma. The taste is rich and assertive, with earthy undertones and a hint of astringency that lingers pleasantly. As the leaves open, the flavour deepens, offering a complex and satisfying cup that pairs well with food or stands confidently on its own.
Its powerful profile makes it a favourite among green tea lovers looking for a more intense tea experience without the bitterness found in some other varieties.
Suggested Brewing Methods
This loose-leaf tea can be prepared using various traditional methods, allowing you to tailor the flavour and strength to your personal preference. Whether you enjoy a light, refreshing infusion or a deeper, more robust brew, the tightly rolled leaves of Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea gradually release their character with each steeping, offering a customisable experience that suits both occasional tea drinkers and dedicated connoisseurs.
Simple Infusion
Use 1 teaspoon of tea per 200 ml of water.
Heat water to around 75–80°C (not boiling).
Steep for 2–3 minutes.
Strain and enjoy.
This approach produces a light yet flavourful cup that showcases the tea’s clean vegetal notes and slight smokiness.
Second and Third Brews
Gunpowder Green Dynasty Tea is well-suited to multiple infusions.
Simply re-steep the same leaves for shorter intervals (30–60 seconds).
Each brew will reveal new aspects of the tea’s character.
The rolled leaves slowly release their flavours over successive infusions, making this tea economical and enjoyable to re-brew.
