Picked and processed following traditional Chinese methods, this organic gunpowder green tea features whole leaves rolled into pearls that unfurl when steeped. Numi packages the tea fresh in a resealable pouch to preserve aroma and flavor, delivering a clean, herbaceous cup suitable for mornings, afternoons, or iced preparations.

How does the tea taste and what can I expect from each cup?

Expect a bold, lively green tea with vegetal, grassy notes and a smooth finish. The rolling technique concentrates flavor, producing a cleaner, slightly smoky edge compared with lighter steamed greens. It steeps into a bright amber-green liquor that balances briskness with a rounded mouthfeel.

• Flavor profile: bright grassy notes with a mild earthy undertone
• Body: medium-bodied, clean finish
• Aroma: fresh, vegetal, subtly toasted
• Best served: hot or chilled over ice

What brewing method gets the best cup from gunpowder loose leaf?

Use water below boiling to avoid bitterness—about 170–185°F (75–85°C)—and steep briefly for a balanced cup. A typical ratio is one teaspoon per 8-ounce cup, steeped 1.5–3 minutes, then strain. You can re-steep the same leaves once or twice for a lighter second infusion.

• Water temp: 170–185°F (75–85°C)
• Leaf amount: ~1 tsp (2–3 g) per 8 oz cup
• Steep time: 1.5–3 minutes; re-steep once
• Equipment: teapot, infuser, or gaiwan recommended

How many servings does this 16-ounce pouch yield and how should I store it?

A 16-ounce pouch of loose-leaf gunpowder typically yields about 180–220 cups depending on how strong you brew. Numi’s resealable pouch helps maintain freshness, but long-term storage is best in a cool, dark place or an airtight tin to prevent flavor loss. Avoid heat, light, and moisture to keep the leaves vibrant.

• Estimated yield: ~200 cups with standard measure
• Storage: keep sealed, cool, and away from light
• Long-term: transfer to an airtight container for best preservation
• Use-by tip: enjoy within months after opening for peak aroma
