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? |
