Harvested and hand-rolled into small, compact pellets, this loose-leaf Pinhead Gunpowder represents a traditional green-tea form prized for its freshness and storage stability.

How does this gunpowder green tea brew best at home?

Gunpowder responds well to slightly cooler water and brief steep times to avoid bitterness while extracting the tea’s vegetal and slightly smoky notes. Use water heated to about 170–185°F (75–85°C) and steep for 1–3 minutes, adjusting time for desired strength.

• Suggested ratio: 1 teaspoon per 8 oz (250 ml) for a single cup; 1–2 tablespoons per quart for cold-brew or pitcher.
• First infusion: 1–2 minutes for a bright, delicate cup; longer for more body.
• Leaves are small pellets—expect multiple quick infusions with diminishing strength.

What flavor profile should I expect from Organic Positively Tea’s Pinhead Gunpowder?

The tea delivers a lively vegetal character with hints of seaweed, fresh-cut grass and a subtle roasted or smoky backdrop from the rolling process. Its mouthfeel is clean with moderate astringency that pairs well with light sweeteners or citrus when making iced tea.

• Primary notes: green, grassy, mildly toasted.
• Finish: crisp, slightly brisk without heavy bitterness when brewed correctly.
• Pairs well with: honey, lemon, light herbal blends, or cold-brew preparations.

How does the 16-ounce packaging support freshness and everyday use?

The one-pound (16 oz) format is sized for regular drinkers who want value and fewer reorders while keeping a sealed supply at home. Because pinhead gunpowder is compact, the leaves store well but still benefit from airtight storage away from heat and light.

• Pack size: 16 oz, suitable for several weeks to months depending on frequency.
• Storage tip: transfer to an opaque, airtight tin to preserve aroma and flavor.
• Economy: bulk quantity reduces cost per cup for daily green-tea drinkers.

Is this product certified organic and suitable for special diets?

Yes — the tea is USDA Organic and Non-GMO, and it carries kosher certification, making it compatible with a range of dietary preferences. It naturally contains caffeine typical of green tea, so consider decaf alternatives if avoiding stimulants.

• Certifications: USDA Organic, Non-GMO verified, Kosher.
• Content: true loose-leaf green tea with natural caffeine.
• Ideal for: organic-focused shoppers and those seeking clean-label teas.

Who is this for?
