It's an acquired taste, and the good ones are way better than the bad ones.
I started drinking loose leaf tea with some crappy gunpowder, 4 oz. of the
stuff, and at first it nearly knocked me over but then I grew to like it,
and now the other greens always leave something to be desired.. it's that
harshness that makes it.

I use a tea infuser (made from nylon, I let it sit in a glass of water
in
the fridge overneight to "diffuse" the tea that had built up on it) and
made
a cup of gunpowder green tea. I brewed for about three minutes. The
resulting brew tastes a bit rank and musty like mold. Is this normal?
Does
gunpowder green just taste terrible? Maybe it's because it only cost a
dollar an ounce. You buy what you pay for...
