Gunpowder Supreme tea – loose in tin
Among the many types of green tea, the most popular is surely the Gunpowder Supreme, with its herbaceous aroma and intense yellow color that combines a fresh and light taste to its healthful properties. Like all green teas, the Gunpowder Supreme does not undergo oxidative processes and at the end of processing the leaves, they rolled up on themselves, taking the form of dark green small spheres resembling precisely the gunpowder from which the tea takes its name, probably coined by an English sailor in the seventeenth century.
