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.
