Tea for You - Tea Business

This tea is probably the most popular green tea from Zhejiang, south of Sanghai. The name "Gunpowder" was given to this speciality because of its rolled leaves, which have the formof bullets. If the rolled tealeaves are brewed with hot water, they begin to crackle. The tea is very original in taste, with a very strong and tangy aroma. If you find this tea too strong, you may pour away the first brew. The second one then offers the tender soul of the tea. By the way, in northern Africa the first brew is served with a mint leaf, a tea "à la menthe" so to speak.
