Description

JC Tea Gunpowder Green Tea | Premium Loose-Leaf Ceylon Green Tea

Ancient craftsmanship meets exceptional freshness. JC Tea’s Gunpowder Green Tea brings a thousand-year-old tradition straight to Canadian homes. Sourced from Sri Lanka’s finest green tea gardens, each premium leaf is precisely hand-rolled into a tight, shiny pellet resembling grains of gunpowder. This traditional compression method serves a vital purpose: it naturally seals in the tea’s volatile aromatics, vital nutrients, and fresh flavor, protecting them from light and air far better than open-leaf teas.

Unlike common Chinese varieties, this Ceylon Gunpowder green tea thrives in mineral-rich, tropical highland soils, yielding a cleaner palate, a vibrant pale-golden liquor, and a crisp, grassy flavor profile with a mildly bold, smooth finish.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Unmatched Freshness: Tight, shiny pellets signal premium, young leaves that slowly unfurl beautifully in your cup as they steep.

  • No Harsh Bitterness: Grown in high-altitude conditions to ensure a naturally smooth, refreshing taste that carries a subtle, clean earthiness.

  • Re-Steep Potential: High-quality whole leaves can be steeped 2–3 times, with each infusion revealing new, delicate flavor notes.

  • Antioxidant Powerhouse: Packed with high concentrations of catechins (including EGCG) to boost metabolism, support heart health, aid digestion, and enhance immune function.

  • Jitter-Free Focus: The natural synergy of moderate caffeine and L-theanine provides clean, sustained mental clarity without the crash or anxiety of coffee.

Quick Brewing Guide:

  • Water Temp: 75–85°C (Important: Let boiling water cool for 3–5 minutes to avoid bitterness)

  • Quantity: 1 teaspoon (approx. 2g) per 200–250ml

  • Steep Time: 2–3 minutes

  • Serving Tip: Best enjoyed entirely plain (without milk) or with a light drizzle of honey.
