Davidson's Tea Bulk, Gunpowder Green, 1-Pound Bag

This is a review of the organic Gunpowder Green variety. The tea is great. The leaves are rolled in attractive balls that release as water hits them (explaining the gunpowder name). I enjoy this either hot (steeped for about a minute with 180 degree water), where I frequently have enough flavor left for a second steeping, or as a cold brew tea. You can find lots of recipes online, but this makes an almost perfect replica of the Itoen brand iced bottled teas. Very refreshing and crisp on a hot summer day!

It's a great green tea, unfortunately I personally wouldn't call it gunpowder. It's very loosely rolled, doesn't quite capture the smokiness and depth of other gun powder teas. It does have a great deep floral flavor typical of pan fired greens but that's exactly what I'd call this, a loose leaf pan fired green. Gunpowder green should have tight hand rolled leaves that resemble... Gunpowder. This resembles dried loose leaf tea.

Just as I was looking for

I never knew Green Tea could taste so delicious! I have many allergies to many foods and searched for a Tea that didn’t cause discomfort and allergy issues! This one was everything I needed! Thank you for an amazing product!

Good leaves, nice taste , nice aroma great price
