Traditional Chinese Tea Pearls: Premium Camellia Sinensis

Our Gunpowder Green Tea consists of carefully selected young tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant, harvested at peak freshness and skillfully rolled into small, tight pearls. This traditional rolling process, developed during the Tang Dynasty, helps preserve the tea's essential oils and natural compounds.

The tightly rolled pearls contain:

  • Polyphenols: Natural antioxidants that support overall health
  • Catechins: Including the powerful EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate)
  • L-theanine: An amino acid that promotes relaxation while maintaining alertness
  • Caffeine: Natural stimulant that provides sustained energy
  • Essential Minerals: Including potassium, manganese, and fluoride

Green Tea Health Benefits: Natural Energy & Antioxidant Support

This exceptional Gunpowder Green Tea offers numerous health benefits supported by scientific research:

  • Antioxidant Protection: Rich in polyphenols and catechins, particularly EGCG, which combat free radicals and support cellular health. These compounds have been linked to reduced risk of various chronic conditions.
  • Metabolic Support: The combination of catechins and caffeine has been shown to enhance metabolic rate and fat oxidation, supporting healthy weight management.
  • Cognitive Function: L-theanine works synergistically with caffeine to promote alert calmness and improved focus, without the jitters associated with coffee.
  • Cardiovascular Health: Regular consumption may help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, supporting overall heart health.
  • Blood Sugar Management: Studies indicate that green tea compounds may help regulate glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity.

Ancient Chinese Tea Craft: The Art of Pearl Rolling

Gunpowder tea, known as 'zhū chá' (pearl tea) in Chinese, represents centuries of tea-making expertise. This distinctive rolling technique emerged during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) as a method to preserve tea quality during long-distance trade along the Silk Road. The tight rolling protected the leaves from moisture and oxidation while maximizing storage efficiency.

The name Gunpowder was coined by British traders in the late 17th century, noting the tea's resemblance to gunpowder pellets and its explosive flavor. This tea played a crucial role in maritime trade, becoming one of China's most exported teas during the Age of Sail.

Traditional Chinese medicine values gunpowder tea for its warming properties and ability to aid digestion. The rolling process was believed to concentrate the tea's vital energy or 'qi', making it particularly beneficial for overall wellness.
