Gunpowder Green Tea from Nelson's Tea is a classic Chinese brew made by rolling young leaves into tight, pellet-like shapes. The rolling technique locks in freshness, keeps aromatic oils sealed inside, and slowly unfurls during steeping to release a bold, layered cup with smoky and citrus notes.
Each serving delivers a brisk, lively character that stands out from softer green brews. Drinkers who enjoy a full-flavored morning cup or a midday pick-me-up will find this option satisfying, practical to store, and ideal for both hot pours and iced preparations across different seasons.
