What makes this Gunpowder green tea different from other green teas?

Gunpowder green tea is defined by its rolled leaf shape and concentrated taste. Rolling helps lock in oils and aroma, producing a cup that’s stronger and more resilient to multiple infusions than many loose green teas.

• Whole-leaf grade for fuller flavor extraction
• Tightly rolled pearls retain essential oils
• Bold, slightly smoky profile with nutty notes
• Packaged in a 1 lb bulk bag for cost-effective brewing

How should I brew this loose-leaf Gunpowder tea for best results?

Brewing Gunpowder requires slightly cooler water than boiling and a longer steep than delicate greens to balance its bold profile. Adjust leaf amount and steep time to match your taste preference.

• Use water at about 175–185°F (80–85°C) to avoid excessive bitterness
• Start with 1 teaspoon per 8 oz, increase for stronger cups
• Steep 2–3 minutes initially; extend by 30–60 seconds for stronger brews
• Leaves hold up well to 2–3 infusions when re-steeped

Is this tea certified organic and non-GMO?

Yes — Sarasota Coffee & Tea Co. markets this Gunpowder green tea as USDA organic, indicating it was grown and processed under organic standards. The product is also described as non-GMO, reflecting sourcing that avoids genetically modified organisms.

• USDA organic certification indicated for organic production
• Non-GMO sourcing documented by supplier practices
• Bulk packaging keeps leaves intact and reduces frequent resealing
• Whole-leaf grade supports consistent quality across batches

How is this 1 lb bulk packaging useful compared to smaller sizes?

• Cost-effective for daily drinkers or office kitchens
• Larger supply reduces packaging waste from repeated small purchases
