Shaped like a bullet pellet, Gunpowder green tea packs a robust sweet nutty flavor. Tumble fried in a perforated drum tumbler set at an angle, the green tea leaves moved around in a figure eight pattern. A constant heat source blows hot air through the drum, evenly drying the tea leaves. The combined motions and heat cause the tea leaves to curl into small pellets. Gunpowder green tea is a popular base tea for green tea blends.

Gunpowder green tea is the base for most Moroccan teas. Moroccans combine Gunpowder with fresh mint, drinking this refreshing beverage in the shade of the desert heat. The added mint cools the body as the Gunpowder rejuvenates your mind and body.

Brew 1 teaspoon of Moroccan Mint or Gunpowder tea per 8 oz. of filtered hot water for 3-4 minutes. Brew in 175-180F water. To brew a stronger cup, add more tea.  Enjoy hot or cold.
