Gunpowder

Gunpowder is a green tea that is fresh and not as vegetal as other green teas can be. These hand-rolled leaves give you explosive energy and a sweet, mildly smoky brew.

Gunpowder is a well-known variety of green tea, known for its characteristic, small balls reminiscent of gunpowder balls – hence the name “Gunpowder”. This unique rolling of the tea leaves helps preserve the tea for longer, which was especially important during transport in ancient times. Can you perhaps smell a hint of gunpowder smoke?

What distinguishes green tea from white tea is that the leaves are roasted or steamed (most common in Japan). Green tea may also be twisted, shaped or rolled during processing. The finest green teas are shaped and roasted in a wok with only a few hundred grams at a time

Organic green tea

An organic product is produced in a way that takes the environment into account by not using chemical and synthetic pesticides. It's good for the planet, but also for the tea, the farmer and you. By buying organic teas, you support healthy and long-term tea production.

NO-ØKO-01

We are proud to be the largest Norwegian brand importer of organic tea. To be approved by Debio and use the definition Organic, not only must the ingredients be certified organic, but our own plant must also be certified by Debio and controlled by Mattsilynet.

In addition to import controls from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, we go beyond the requirements by also taking random samples for pesticides/pesticides and other pollutants.

It is important that tea is stored protected from air and light. That's why we sell all our teas packed in tight aluminum bags with a zip lock.
