This tea takes its name from the particular treatment of the leaves. Rolled into tight pearls, they were mistaken for gunpowder by 16th century traders. Our blend's grey-green leaves unfurl peacefully to produce a golden tea revealing a smooth, sweet, slightly smoky flavour. A perfect tea for a quiet, contemplative pause.

Only place you can get really good loose green tea. Other brands are bitter and the tea leaves themselves are like dust. Please don't stop producing this.

Deliciously subtle fragrance to this tea and is a completely superior product to tea in a tea-bag.
