Florapharm Gunpowder Temple of Heaven Green Tea 300 g

Florapharm's Gunpowder Temple of Heaven green tea features tightly rolled dark green leaves that expand when steeped, delivering a tart, faintly smoky taste. The traditional rolling method safeguards freshness, preventing oxidation and sealing in the natural oils that define its bold, aromatic character. Each cup offers a concentrated, full-bodied experience with a clean finish typical of teas from this region.

For preparation, place one teaspoon of leaves into a pre-warmed teapot or infuser. Use fresh water heated to 70 °C—boiling water may damage the leaves and produce bitterness. Allow the tea to steep for two minutes before straining. The leaves can be reused two or three times, with each infusion uncovering nuanced changes in flavour.

A subtle smokiness complements the tartness, reflecting the tea's Shanghai origins. It is best savoured without additions to fully appreciate its profile, though it also complements light savoury foods or mild cheeses.

Supplied in a 300 g resealable pouch, the tea stays fresh for extended periods when kept in a cool, dry place away from strong smells. Sourced from high-quality Shanghai estates, this Gunpowder Temple of Heaven green tea suits everyday enjoyment as well as special moments, consistently providing a lively and satisfying brew.
