Notice the tightly rolled leaves. During infusion watch the 'agony of the leaf' as they open. Excellent green tea flavor.

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 got my teas and WOW. I am so happy! ^__^ I love how the teas came in tin cans; I thought that was pretty cute. Although it doesn't LOOK very professional, I loved the tea. I think the lack of retail labels and retail packaging makes it all the more homely, and I will definitely order more once my supply runs out.
