Product Description
A crisp fresh green tea with a clear golden color, Twinings Gunpowder Green Tea can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Each leaf is rolled into a tiny compact pellet, giving it the appearance of old-fashioned lead shot--hence the name, but the term could just have easily have come from the way the pellets explode to many times their size, and release the distinctive flavor, when brewed. Green Tea is a natural source of antioxidants that may help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, and is naturally low in calories when served without milk or sugar. These characteristics make green tea an ideal accompaniment for a healthy lifestyle. Enjoy piping hot or as an iced tea with lemon.

Summary: Great Present 2010-03-31
Comment: My sister had this sent to me as a birthday present. I enjoy a good cup of tea and this did not disappoint. Delicious and strong green tea. Only wish the package was bigger so I could enjoy more of the tea.

Summary: Best Gunpowder available for the $$ 2010-01-25
Comment: This is the best Gunpowder tea you will buy for the $$. It's perfect for everyday green tea drinking. The tins are individually foil sealed so you can take your time getting through the lot, or share with friends and family. I usually take a tin to work and keep one at home. Some specialty grocery stores in Dallas carry the loose teas, but out in the suburbs, Amazon makes it easy and convenient. I priced this out one time and it's $$/oz is incredible bargain, the same tin at specialty grocers (Whole Foods, Central Market, World Market) is like $6-$8. Unless you have an Asian market with a bulk tea section close to you, probably not going to get more affordable.
---Preperation
Use filtered water if you can, I get it from my Fridge since it has filter on the water in the door.
~165-170 degress F (I stick a probe digital thermometer into the whistle hole on my stove-top kettle and set the alarm to go off at 165F, gives me time to get from the living room back to the kitchen without it getting too hot. I have the tea portioned and waiting for the water in my teapot, 6 tsp)
~3-3:30 minutes steep time (covered)
Do not boil or steep longer than 3:30 or it will become overpowering and bitter. If you like it stronger, add more tea.
I alternate with the Twining's Prince of Wales loose (~195-200F, 4min steep time), it has become my favorite black tea.
No cream or suger needed if you brew it correctly. The green tea can be reused for another brew, I typically add a tsp or two to the already brewed leaves and good to go.
The Finum Brewing Medium Basket, Black is a perfect partner for your mug/pot at work. I just use the hot water tap on our coffee machine over the leaves in the basket, 3 minutes later you have perfect green tea at work with easy clean-up.
Enjoy this tea!

Summary: My Favorite 2009-11-07
Comment: This has been my favorite tea for more than a decade but I can't find it locally. I had been ordering directly from Twining but placed this order with Amazon because of the free shipping for orders over $25.00 which saves me at least $1.00 per tin. Saving a buck is always exciting to one of Scots descent and since I drink a pot every day, it can add up over time.

Summary: Best value Gunpowder Green Tea 2009-09-23
Comment: The price on this product was just right. After searching (and failing) to find ANY loose Gunpowder Green Tea at any of my local grocery stores, I resorted to Amazon, and Twinings came through. The tea is very fresh and comes separately packaged in 6 tins. Although I personally would prefer a larger single tin (I'm already through tin 1 of the set), this does ensure freshness for the rest of the tea.
