China green tea fanning

Gunpowder loose tea in Chinese call “pearl tea,” becaus these round and rolled leaves looked like pearls. The British called the tea “gunpowder tea,” because to them, it looked like gunpowder. This tea tends to be made with the larger, older leaves of the plant. It has a richer, fuller taste than most green teas. It has been rolled up to retain all contents.

Processing: stir-fried
