Pinhead Gunpowder Pingshui tea comes from the province of Zhejiang across Hangzhou Bay from Shanghai. It was in Hangzhou that Mao Tse Tung (China's first leader of modern times) first met with President Richard Nixon. This 1973 meeting which included gunpowder tea was the beginning of normalized relations between China and the United States. This gunpowder tea produces a reasonable strong dark-green brew with a memorable fragrance, a slightly bitter but not unpleasant flavor and a long lasting finish. Gunpowder is more dense than other teas so you only require one or two teaspoons for a teapot.

I\'ve tried the various fruit flavored tea and the Blood Orange one is one of my favorites.
