Gunpowder Tea is a well-known Chinese green tea, native to Zhejiang Province, in the eastern coast of China. This famous tea gets its name from the shape of the leaves. Rolled into tiny black pellets, it likes gunpowder grains. Pingshui Gunpowder tea is the most common variety and it is usually sold as Temple of Heaven Gunpowder or Pinhead Gunpowder. Pingshui is the name of the town in the Zhejiang province where this tea was first grown. Our General Manager Mr. Song Zheng is the 4th generation Pingshui Gunpowder tea successor and 40+ years’ tea taster.
