Similar to our gunpowder standard, this brisk and smooth green tea was first produced in China’s Zhejiang Province (浙江省) during the Tang Dynasty, 618–907 AD. It is also known as Zhu Cha (珠茶, pearl tea), alluding to the pearl- or pinhead-like tightly rolled leaves. Compared to our standard gunpowder, this pinhead classic speciality imparts a smoother and richer yellowish green clear infusion and a stronger honeyed taste with a refreshingly smoky lingering sensation on the palate, well-balanced and non astringent, packed with polyphenols, micronutrients with powerful antioxidant properties and quenching qualities. Joyful sips for day and night.
It is a unique blend of art and alchemy, tradition and vision, sourced sustainably with a focus of the well-being of the globe.
