Small, hand-picked tender young leaves are tightly rolled into the shape of pearls, resembling gunpowder pellets, which unfurl when brewed into the original full leaf, producing a delicious, pale golden tea. The excellence of this tea comes from the quality of the original tea leaves which are young and fresh and in the preparation: The preparation of the tea into tiny little balls is an excellent way of retaining the full properties of the leaf. Stronger in taste than Chun Mee, a very small amount of tea is needed per cup. The high quality of the original small tea leaf means that unlike other Gunpowder teas, Qi Gunpowder has no bitterness.
