China Gunpowder "Temple of Heaven"

Description 

Green tea with a rolled leaf, pleasantly spicy in taste.

Also known as "Zucha" or "Pearl Tea". Just like the classic Gunpowder, this tea is dried in rolling drums. The constant rotation gives the tea its spherical form. "Temple of Heaven" tea features a very tightly rolled ball, which is also a sign of quality. The aroma is softer than that of the standard quality and less bitter. This tea may be enjoyed at any time of the day. If you still find the brew too tangy, try pouring away the first brew and taste the second. Most of the caffeine content will also be eliminated in this way.
