Called pearl tea in China, Gunpowder is one of the first teas exported to Europe & rolling the leaves into balls was done to help preserve the leaf for the long voyage. Gunpowder pearl mint is a Moroccan specialty combining spearmint & peppermint with gunpowder to make a tasty after meal beverage.
Gunpowder is a visual as well as a taste treat. First watch the pellets “explode” in the hot water as the leaves unfurl. Then enjoy the refreshing, crisp flavor of a nice cup of gunpowder tea and prepare for a relaxing afternoon.
