Uncle Lee's Premium Gunpowder Green Tea in Bulk Description: Premium. USDA Organic. All Natural. with

Antioxidants. Uncle Lee's Gunpowder Green Tea in Bulk derives its name from the shape of the finished tea

leaves. Legend has it that the name "gunpowder" was given by an imaginative English clerk who thought that

the dark green tea leaves, rolled into round pellets, looked like gunpowder. in China the name for gunpowder

tea is "pearl tea". Rolling the leaves has a beneficial effect on the quality of the tea. Not only does it force to

the surface flavorful juices that otherwise would remain in the leaf, but the pellet retains its shape during firing

and keeps its freshness longer than other loose leaf teas. Uncle Lee's Gunpowder Tea has a dark golden

color, roasted or toasted taste with a strong aftertaste lingering in the front palette, and a strong roasted or

toasted aroma. When brewed, the teas unfold into large leaves. Our Gunpowder Green Tea is rich in natural

fluoride, calcium and anti-oxidants and has only 20 to 30 mg. of caffeine per cup. Disclaimer These statements
