What makes this gunpowder green tea different from regular green tea?

Gunpowder leaves are rolled into pearls shortly after picking, concentrating flavor and slowing oxidation for a roasted, fuller body compared to many steamed or pan-fired greens. The roasting process brings out toasty notes and a clean finish rather than a pronounced grassy taste.

• Hand-rolled pearls preserve aroma and strength.
• Roasted profile yields toasty, smooth flavor.
• Less grassy and more full-bodied than many standard greens.

How should I brew Numi Gunpowder for best results?

Use hot water that’s not boiling and steep briefly to avoid bitterness—2 to 3 minutes is a good starting point. Adjust steep time for strength: shorter for a lighter cup, a bit longer if you prefer a bolder flavor.

• Water temperature: just below boiling.
• Steep time: 2–3 minutes; test and adjust to taste.
• One tea bag per 8–12 oz cup; reuse for a milder second infusion.

Are the tea bags and packaging truly plastic-free and sustainable?

Numi uses manila hemp (Abacá) fiber tea bags sealed with a crimp-and-knot method so no polypropylene contacts the tea. The bags are BPI Certified Biodegradable and independently verified as free of added plastics or microplastics, while the outer wrapper is plant-based and commercially compostable.

• Tea bags: manila hemp, crimp-and-knot sealed, BPI Certified.
• Verified supplier claim: no added plastics or microplastics.
• Wrapper: FSC paper and non-GMO sugarcane, commercially compostable.

How does choosing this tea support growers and communities?

This tea comes from Jiangxi, China’s first Fair Trade tea garden, where Fair Trade sales have increased workers’ wages and funded educational programs. Purchasing Fair Trade certified tea helps maintain those community benefits over time.

• Sourced from Jiangxi’s Fair Trade garden with documented wage increases.
• Funds allocated for children’s education through high school and university.
• Certifications include USDA Organic and Fair Trade.
