China Gunpowder 80 g

The little rolled pellets crack open beautifully in hot water, and I love watching them unfurl into full leaves. It brews up a clean, slightly smoky cup that’s become my afternoon ritual.

The little rolled pellets are so tightly packed that a teaspoon goes further than I expected, and they open up into a rich, earthy brew with a nice kick. I’ve been having a cup every afternoon and it hits the spot without any bitterness.

The pellets unfurl beautifully in hot water, turning into full, dark leaves that give a clean, slightly smoky brew. I’ve been steeping mine for about three minutes and the flavor stays bold without turning bitter. This is my new go-to for a serious afternoon cup.
