Gunpowder Green Tea contains every leaf being rolled into small pellets, resembling small grains of gunpowder. In the creation of this interesting tea, the leaves are withered, then steamed, rolled and then finally - dried.
One benefit to this process is that it improves the durability of Gunpowder Tea in terms of retaining freshness, quality, the original taste of the leaves, and of course - the nutrients within.
A little known fact is that shiny pellets indicate quality gunpowder tea leaves, along with the size - smaller is better and with larger pellets indicating a lower quality.
