World Spice Gunpowder Green Tea delivers a rich, full-bodied brew crafted through traditional Chinese leaf-rolling techniques. Unlike flat-cut varieties, these tight, bead-like pellets unfold slowly during steeping, releasing a smooth infusion marked by subtle nuttiness and a clean, earthy finish. The rolling method locks in volatile compounds longer than shredded teas, ensuring fresh aroma and balanced strength in every cup.
When hot water contacts the compact grains, they gradually expand into tender, whole foliage. This slow unfurling creates a bold yet refreshing liquid that holds up across multiple short steeps, making it ideal for daily hydration, afternoon refreshment, or building a foundational cold-brew concentrate.
Why You'll Love It- Tight pellet form preserves essential oils and slows oxidation compared to cut-leaf blends
- Naturally smooth mouthfeel with minimal astringency when brewed at proper temperatures
- Versatile steeping window allows easy adjustment from bright morning cups to heavier afternoon drafts
- Consistent grain diameter ensures predictable hydration rates and even extraction
- Pour water heated to roughly 175°F (80°C) to protect the leaves from scalding
- Scoop 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz and steep 2 to 3 minutes for a balanced extract
- Rinse tightly packed leaves quickly once if you require a zero-bitter baseline
- Reuse the same leaves two to three times, adding 30 seconds to each subsequent steep
- Drinkers seeking authentic Asian-style rolled green tea without roasting or smoking
- Daily consumers who prefer moderate caffeine with a clean, non-muddy flavor profile
- Cold-brew creators needing dense leaves that infuse uniformly over long contact times
Does this green tea blend contain added flavorings or sweeteners?
The package contains only pure green tea leaves, with no sugars, extracts, or artificial additives included.
How should I store the loose leaves to maintain freshness?
Keep the container sealed in a cool, dark cupboard away from humidity and direct sunlight to preserve the rolling-form quality for several months.
Can I use this tea for cooking or baking applications?
While designed primarily for hot or cold infusion, lightly crushed pellets simmer in broths or steep into custards to impart a gentle mineral-tea background without overpowering savory dishes.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
