Time for Tea with Carisa

Join Carisa Bunten of Seventh Street Gifts for a year of programs on different teas. A new tea will be featured each month. The tea for August is Gunpowder Tea.

Gunpowder tea is a traditional Chinese tea that has a bold, smoky flavor with hints of nuttiness and a slightly bitter finish. It is named for the method in which the tea is made, as it has a tightly rolled, pellet-like appearance, and its robust taste profile that stands up well to multiple steepings. The smoky flavor and aroma come from the way the tea leaves are roasted, giving it a distinct character that sets it apart from other green teas. Overall, gunpowder green tea is a strong and flavorful tea, perfect for those looking for a tea with a little more kick.
