Gun powder is called that because it looks like corned black powder for guns. Its a green tea with an interesting distinctive flavor. I find it best brewed strong; but this expands a lot so don't fill the infuser or basket more than about 1/3 of the way. IMHO better than Twinings Green Gunpowder Tea, Loose Tea, 3.53-Ounce Tins (Pack of 6) at a better price. The down side is that you must repackage this into air tight container(s).

I bought this tea hoping for something that would be more cost effective than buying teabags. It was delicious for the first 4 days or so, and I kept it in an airtight container. On around the 5th day, however, I brewed a cup and it was horribly bitter. I tried a different teaball with the same result, a french press still to no avail, and lastly I tried using a thick paper towel as a makeshift tea bag. It all just tasted horrible. I was really disappointed with this product, and I won't be buying from this company again. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 for the good first 4 days I had with it.

I am a tea drinker. I love green tea. I used the twinnings green tea for a while. They use full leaves and they make a bit of a lighter tea. I do like that. This tea is cut up into smaller pieces, and is a darker nuttier brew. I wasn't sure if I'd like that at first, but I have grown to really like it. I often mix it with a little chamomile or "Davidson's Tea Bulk, Organic Spring Fruit & Flowers" which is great.

This Gunpowder is the only kind I buy. It's definitely the best! Try it with a twist of lemon to get the full benefit of the catechins! [...]

This tea is horrible, it does not look or taste or smell like green tea at all! Don't have more words to say
