Gunpowder is a lightly roasted, tightly rolled green tea named for its resemblance to actual gunpowder, with a refreshing flavor of lemon and light vegetables that makes it an excellent choice for everyday brewing. Watch the leaves slowly unfurl in hot water in what tea drinkers call the "agony of the tea leaf," a ritual that connects you to a long history of the brew: in eighteenth-century British America, various grades of gunpowder tea were a common and prized import, first embraced by wealthy colonists and soon adopted by the middle classes as well.
- Ingredients: green tea leaves
