Annie Oakley Green Tea Blend

Made by individually hand-rolling steamed tea leaves into small round balls, Gunpowder tea earned its current namesake by its resemblance to corned gunpowder pellets used for early guns. 
Gunpowder tea’s distinct robust and smoky flavor has made it a favorite amongst both novice and expert tea drinkers. Slightly earthy and nutty, this tea is great for a kick of caffeine.

To make the perfect cup of Gunpowder tea, you will want to use 1 teaspoon of tea leaves for each 8-ounce cup. For an optimal flavor experience, bring the water to about 175°F. This is important, as green tea is delicate and will become quite bitter if it is steeped in water that is too hot. If you do not have an electric tea kettle with a temperature setting, bring your kettle to a full boil, then remove it from the heat and let the water sit for a moment before steeping the tea. Some people enjoy Gunpowder tea with a short 1-minute steep, while others prefer the stronger flavors of a 3-minute steep. We recommend capping the steep time at 3 minutes to avoid a bitter taste. 

Each glass jar contains roughly 2 oz of loose-leaf tea, depending on density of the tea it may be slightly less or slightly more. Each jar contains enough tea to make 10 strong cups or 15 standard cups of tea.
