Green Tea

Temple of Heaven Organic Gunpowder Green Tea 18 Bags Ages before the birth of humanity, when ice still covered the earth, a family of high-mountain Camellia plants thrived. From these, the tea bush traces its noble lineage.

Our whole leaf Gunpowder tea is gently steamed within hours of being plucked, then skillfully hand rolled into small tight pearls. This process preserves its delicate flavor and aroma far longer than other green teas. Steeped in hot water, the leaves unfurl, releasing a well-rounded full-bodied flavor. Rich in fluoride, calcium, and anti-oxidants and with very little caffeine, this is a perfect choice to greet the evening.

PREPARATION
Bring water to a full boil. For black teas, steep 3-5 minutes, as over brewing brings out bitterness from tannin, a natural part of tea. For green and Oolong teas, bring water just below a boil. Steep 2-4 minutes, to desired strength. Due to the delicacy of green and Oolong tea, careful attention is needed to capture the full taste. Serve hot or cold.
