I had made this Western style today on the account that I’ve been on my feet and haven’t had a lot of time to brew any other way prior to my shift tonight.
I must admit that I was expecting more from this session, but what I received from it was very unappetizing.
Cup One: I set the water temperature @ 170 F and steeped it for 1 minute. It was fairly bland and light. I drank the cup regardless and proceeded to make a second.
Cup Two: I set the water temperature @ 170 F and steeped it for 2 minutes. It was slightly astringent, bitter, and had a slight rice/seaweed combo aroma/taste.
Cup Three/Final: I set the water temperature @ 170 F and steeped it for 3 minutes. Bitter, sour, and very astringent. I had attempted to add honey to cut the sourness/bitterness, but it was slightly worse. I had dumped the remainder of the liquid from my cup….
Note: This was a sample sitting around for a while, so as far as green tea goes, it could’ve just became stale at this point.
Flavors: Bitter, Rice, Seaweed, Sour
Not at good as the gunpowder green tea from iHOT. More astringency, smaller pieces.
Flavors: Astringent
Not sure if you mean broken pieces or smaller gun powder tea, which is a sign of quality tea. I have 3 empty tins of this in my cupboard. (I think Walmart ran out of it)
I would say broken pieces more so, and the tea from iHOT had more “pellets” where tuning’ tea looks more unraveled.
Either way, it’s not a bad tea: I just personally prefer the stuff from iHOT more.
*twining’s tea looks more unraveled
I like this tea. I can get three steepings of 3 minutes, for a total of 9 minutes out of it.
The tea brews up yellow and has a warm, strong taste that isn’t too grassy.
In dry form, the tea looks green and is a combination of gunpowder pellets and smaller material. I use a finer sieve when brewing.
3 teaapoons to 250 ml of water.
You can always count on Twinings. This is a nice tea, lighter and less smoky than other gunpowder teas I have tried, but enough smokiness and sweetness to make for a very enjoyable cup. I steeped it 3 times, and probably could have gone at least once more.
I didn’t get around to making tea until after lunchtime today, so I decided to take a break from my recent steady diet of blacks to return to one of my all-time favorites. The subtle but entirely unique flavor of gunpowder green never disappoints. One of my perennial afternoon staples!
