Gunpowder Tea is a distinctive green tea with leaves that are lightly roasted and tightly rolled into small pellets—a shape that inspired its memorable name. As the tea steeps, the leaves gradually unfurl, producing a refreshing cup with gentle lemon notes, a mellow vegetal character, and a lightly toasted finish. Packaged in Oliver Pluff & Company’s signature keepsake tin, this historic tea is an inviting choice for everyday brewing. Enjoy it on its own, serve it chilled, or add a spoonful of honey for a naturally sweet finishing touch.

Why We Chose It

There’s a Reason It’s Here.

We chose Gunpowder Tea because it offers something memorable before the first sip. Its tightly rolled leaves resemble tiny grains of gunpowder and dramatically unfurl as they steep. The crisp, lightly toasted flavor makes it approachable for everyday tea drinkers, while its unusual appearance and long history give each cup a story worth sharing.
