Gunpowder Green Tea | Bulk Tea for Antioxidant & Energy Support

HOW TO USE

Grassy and naturally energizing, organic gunpowder green tea is a caffeinated, loose-leaf bulk tea made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose-leaf tea.

Steep one teaspoon in 8oz of water just under boiling (around 175 to 180 degrees) for 2 to 3 minutes. Gunpowder green tea is rolled into small pellets, which unfurl as they steep. You can re-steep the same leaves two to three times, each cup slightly different in character. Oversteeping or using water that's too hot will bring out bitterness, so keep both time and temperature in check.

Organic gunpowder green tea is a traditionally processed green tea, named for the way its leaves are rolled into small, dense pellets resembling gunpowder. Herbalist-sourced by Kendra, founder and herbalist of The Herbal Scoop, our bulk gunpowder green tea is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY so you always get the freshest, most potent green tea available.

Grassy and naturally energizing, gunpowder green tea is a true tea, made from the Camellia sinensis plant, not an herbal infusion. It contains natural caffeine, along with a steady, well-researched lineup of antioxidant compounds.

ABOUT THIS HERB

Gunpowder Green Tea (Camellia sinensis): whole or broken green tea leaves, rolled into small pellets, a traditional processing method that helps preserve freshness during storage and transport. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that green tea has been studied for cardiovascular and metabolic wellness, with modest effects observed on cholesterol in clinical trials, and that green tea as a beverage has no reported safety concerns for most healthy adults.

Important: This is a caffeinated tea, not an herb, containing approximately 25 to 50mg of caffeine per cup, depending on steep time and strength. If you are sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, or managing a heart or anxiety condition, please consult your healthcare provider about appropriate intake. Green tea can also reduce iron absorption from food, so those managing low iron may want to drink it between meals rather than with them.

Our bulk gunpowder green tea is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and packed to order in small batches in Narrowsburg, NY to ensure maximum freshness and potency. Available in 2oz, 4oz, and 8oz so you can order exactly what your ritual requires.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much caffeine is in gunpowder green tea?
A typical cup contains roughly 25 to 50mg of caffeine, depending on how long and how strong you steep it, less than a cup of coffee but more than most herbal infusions, which contain none. If you're managing your total daily caffeine, it's worth counting toward that total.

Why is it called gunpowder tea?
The name comes from the way the leaves are rolled into small, tightly wound pellets that resemble grains of gunpowder. This rolling process is traditional and helps protect the tea's flavor and freshness during storage; it has nothing to do with the tea's flavor or ingredients.

Can I drink gunpowder green tea every day?
Many people do, as a steady source of natural energy and antioxidants. As with any caffeinated beverage, pay attention to your total daily caffeine intake and how your body responds, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine or managing your sleep.

Does green tea affect iron absorption?
Yes, the catechins in green tea can reduce how much iron your body absorbs from a meal. If you're managing low iron, it's a good habit to drink green tea between meals rather than alongside iron-rich food.

Is gunpowder green tea safe during pregnancy?
Green tea is generally considered acceptable in moderation during pregnancy, similar to other caffeinated beverages, but it does count toward your total daily caffeine intake. Please talk with your healthcare provider about how much caffeine is appropriate for your pregnancy.
