I think you're correct about this. The tea from gunpowder is brownish
gray, all three types I've bought and tried. This BI Luo Chun. (Which
looks mostly like gunpowder to me.) is very tasty in comparison.
However it was 15 dollars a pound, on many of the websites I have
looked at for it, it is much over 30 dollars a pound. Do you know

I was just browsing and I stumbled upon

which

might be quite interesting for you!

Looks intersting? Yunnan Simao Biluochun ($8.20(tea)+$14.20(post)/lb)
and the Yunnan Xishuangbannan Biluochun ($0.01(tea)+$14.99(post)/lb)
which comes close to your $15/lb price search. I haven't bought from
this seller so I don't know, the shipping/tea costs do seem a little
weird, especially the $0.01, but the tea looks good...


The second stuff looks like what i bought except that the leaves are
lighter in color. It's half the price. I may buy from them once I
drink up this stuff

Thanks a lot!
