This is the 18th of 19 samples I got a while ago. Hopefully I’m able to find the 19th, I forget what it was! Anyway… This is only the 2nd gunpowder green tea I’ve ever had. I was surprised by how much I liked Numi’s bagged gunpowder green so thought I might like this one. And, so far I am not disappointed. I’ll have to look up how gunpowder green tea is prepared because there’s some distinctive flavor i like but can’t put my finger on. While I was brewing it, it reminded me of pu-erh tea. Idk how to describe the smell, maybe kind of earthy? Anyways, I’m a fan! (Brewed for less time at lower temp than recommended since it’s green tea and I’m picky about it!)
Flavors: Tea, Wet Earth
Preparation
175 °F / 79 °C

I find gunpowder to be a little mineral and smoky.
