gunpowder tea
This fine Chinese
TEA is considered the highest grade of green
TEA and is noted for both its form and its flavor. The small, young
TEA leaves are rolled into minuscule balls, giving the
TEA a granular appearance. Gunpowder
TEA is light in color, with a distinctively sharp flavor. See also
TEA.
