Organic Gunpowder Green Tea Premium Grade Loose Leaf Pinhead Pellets Ideal for Energy Boost Detox Weight Loss Antioxydant Makes 60 Cups by The Tea Company 4oz

I've been drinking tea for a long time, and I love fresh mint tea.....but in the winter, its hard to find fresh mint so I've been trying, up to now unsuccessfully, to find a full bodied mint tea. I have finally found one that I enjoy and would buy again. I'm not a fan of regular green tea, but I do enjoy gunpowder green tea. However, the last few times I bought it in the store, I was not happy with the "extra" stuff I found in the tea.....so when I found this company, that sold organic gunpowder green tea, I decided to try it, along with their organic mint green tea, since it was made with their gunpowder green tea.I have found both teas to be full bodied and excellent teas. The mint tea is made with two different kinds of mint and it is not "wimpy". Its full of refreshing natural mint flavor. The gunpowder tea in it gives it an extra kick and body. I steep my tea, for a full 6 minutes, not the recommended 3-5 minutes, and I make sure my water is boiling when I put into the hot tea pot.The teas come very well packaged, which I think is extremely important with tea, to retain flavor and both packages have an almost 2 year expiration date.I would highly recommend both teas, the gunpowder green tea, and the mint tea.

The tea is wonderful. I can't stop drinking it. I make it hot and drink it with a meal. I find the leftovers cold and drink them. The water gets too hot, the tea steeps too long because I get busy doing something else and it is still wonderful. I worry about this tea...is it addicting? Is some kind of strange relationship developing between myself and this leaf? Should I shun it as a test of sobriety? This tea is good. If you ever send it out free, I want several more packs. Otherwise, I shall buy some more when I run out.

I have to drink green tea 3 times a day brewed with dry rosemary. This is a regimen for cancer, as green tea and rosemary mix is an outstanding antioxidant. The use of green tea could enhance the effect of conventional cancer therapies through additive or synergistic effects as well as through amelioration of deleterious side effects.Adding rosemary to the brew results in nasty bitter taste, and I've been searching for the ecologically clean, minimally processed green tea that could potentially alleviate the nasty taste of the brew.This tea definitely fits the bill.Its smooth, radiant flavor is not overwhelmed by the harsh rosemary's flavor. The leaves are long and healthy.Highly recommend and will purchase again.

When it comes to green tea, I’ve always preferred the Gunpowder because the leaves stay fresh longer as they’re rolled into small pellets the size of a pinhead. The leaves open when in hot water, and because they are whole leaves and not broken it also improves the taste. Some green teas made with broken leaves tend to be bitter, while this one is very fresh, with a hint of a smoky flavor. This is my GoTo beverage for my daily shot of antioxydants. I usually make 2-3 cups with the same leaves and the re-steeps still have a good taste. I highly recommend this tea.

I bought this for my boyfriend since he drinks green tea almost daily. We try to reduce the amount that goes in the trash (he use to use disposable tea bags) so I bought him some loose leaf tea to try. So far he says it tastes good! And it allows you to control how strong or mild you’d like your tea. We haven’t had it long enough yet to see if it will really last us 60 cups but a teaspoon is enough for a cup of tea. At first I thought it seemed like too little but we didn’t realize how much the leafs actually expand in the hot water (when dry they’re rolled up like little balls).The packaging is a plastic bag. An aluminum or glass container would at least be recyclable (plastic gets downcycled into lower quality plastic unlike glass or aluminum which are continuously recycleable) but I’m no tea expert and perhaps that wouldn’t keep it fresh enough.So far we’ve had a good experience : )

I first drank Green tea, fresh, in Vietnam when I worked there a few years ago, and I loved it. This tea is the closest I have found outside Vietnam to that original taste. It’s absolutely delicious. It’s not cheap on a per- packet basis but one packet goes a long way - you don’t need much tea to make a cup and the leaves can be used twice. I also love the lack of teabags, which in many cases are plastic and horrible both for the tea drinker and the environment. I make tea in one of those Teavana pots that sit over the cup and drain through the bottom and it works really well. I highly recommend this product.

The first bag I bought had a deep flavor and color and was great. I really loved it. I left it with my daughter in NY, as it is a green tea she will drink when sick, which is rare, as she does not like green tea. I rate the first bag a 5. I purchased another bag upon my return home, but it just isn't as good. I am brewing exactly the same way, but the color and the flavor are not nearly as deep. I have even tried using a little more tea leaf but still can't obtain the same flavor as the first batch I received. I don't know if it is a difference in the tea leaves used for this batch, but I can only rate this second bag a 3; therefore, the 4 star rating.

I only drink loose tea and I have reordered this organic gunpowder green tea from The Tea Company due to its excellent quality. I find that many green teas are bitter -- this tea is smooth and flavorful. The leaves unfurl from their pellet shape (hence the gunpowder name) into beautiful large leaves when they steep, releasing the fresh flavor.
