Default Gunpowder Tea

I purchased a small green box of gunpowder tea at the local asian
grocer the other day, thinking that it would be similar to other loose
leaf green teas that I have tried.

I was surprised at how different the consistency is, at how "powdery"
it really is. It seems very strong when steeped in the manner I am
accustomed. I'm guessing that I'm not preparing it properly. Could
someone provide me some tips on the preparation of gunpowder tea? Or,
should I just avoid it altogether?
