A fresh and invigorating loose-leaf tea. Small, hand-picked, tender young leaves are tightly rolled into the shape of pearls, resembling gunpowder pellets, which unfurl when brewed into the original full leaf, producing a delicious, pale golden tea. Stronger in taste than Chun Mee, a very small amount of tea is needed per cup. The high quality of the original small tea leaf means that unlike other Gunpowder teas, Qi Gunpowder has no bitterness.
