Let's start off our Tea series with my standby...Gunpowder Green Tea! All teas com from the tea plant Camellia sinensis. The way it is processed is what makes it a White, Yellow, Green, Oolong, Black or Pu Erhs.
Gunpowder green tea is a rather bold green tea, with a bit of a smoky flavor to it, I drink it as is with no additives as it really is not bitter if brewed right. Which means you want a water temperature of 175F/80C and steep it for 2 -3 minutes. This is a lovely wake up tea, not too strong, no morning jitters even if I have several cups...just a nice even pick up that last for most of the day.
Brew and Enjoy!
