Default China green tea-pinhead gunpowder

China green tea- pinhead gunpowder.This is good stuff in fragrance- a
flowery grassy fragrence dry, and more flower and less grass in the
cup. The first sips also are good, but by the third and later sips it
gets increasingly smoky. It's a happy change from the greens I've
been drinking. Toci

My formentioned tea book indicated the same perhaps even more flowery
and fragrant. I didnt bother to read the fine print. What brand is
yours.

I seem to remember a discussion here a long time ago about pinhead
grade gunpowder being younger smaller leaf and pearl grade older
larger leaf. Next time I visit my local tea shoppe Ill try their
grade.
