Gunpowder tea is dried slowly in rotating drums into a very tightly-rolled ball. A well noticeable, rich, nutty green tea with an oaky aroma, it has a slightly dry and fresh flavour. For a classic North African-style taste, a steep with a handful of fresh mint is suggested.
Recipe
Water temperature: 75–85°C
Brewing time: 2 minutes
Heat filtered water to the recommended temperature.
Pour the water into your teapot and place the tea leaves in the strainer.
Gently move the strainer up and down 2–3 times during brewing.
Remove the strainer after 2 minutes and serve immediately.
Tip: Avoid over-steeping green and white teas to preserve their delicate character.
