Gunpowder style tea is named after the round shiny dried tea leaves which has a very long history of tea production. The traditional strong flavor has been popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa for centuries. You can easily appreciate the robust taste of our certified organic Gunpowder by itself or pair it with your favorite flavorings. We especially enjoy this tea with mint or as iced tea.
