You might wonder why this tea is called ‘gunpowder’ in English-speaking countries, although it translates as ‘pearl tea’ from Chinese. It is because its leaves are rolled in a shape that looks like gunpowder. What is more, its slightly greyish colour also creates this association.
We have 2 types of Gunpowder Green tea.
