 This green tea, also known as Gunpowder Pinhead Green Tea, is produced in Taiwan. The leaves are tightly rolled into small pellets, a process that preserves their freshness and flavor for extended periods. When brewed, these pellets unfurl, creating a visually engaging experience. The tea yields a strong, dark-green infusion with a memorable fragrance, slightly bitter but pleasant flavor, and a long-lasting finish.

Formosa Gunpowder is grown at altitudes between 1500 and 2500 feet, using traditional, non-fermented processes. It is known for its robust body and captivating green tea taste, often described as slightly smoky and earthy. The best leaves are selected for quality, size, and style, ensuring a superior tea experience.

To brew, use 1 teaspoon of tea per 8 ounces of water at 175°F (80°C) and steep for 3 minutes. This tea is low in caffeine and rich in antioxidants, making it a healthy and invigorating choice​
