What Is Gunpowder Green Tea?
Many teas have names based on the plant that is grown to produce it. Others are named after the region where the tea originated. But gunpowder tea is named after the way it looks and tastes.
Gunpowder tea has a unique production method. To make the highest quality gunpowder tea, artisans wither, steam, roll, and dry individual tea leaves. Machine rolled gunpowder tea is also available (and quite common) although not as highly revered. This tea is sometimes called pearl tea or bead tea based on the shape of each tiny tea pellet. Some people also call it Chinese gunpowder tea.
When you steep a cup of gunpowder tea, each individual leaf unrolls or "explodes" as some would describe. The tea has a taste that many describe as lightly smoky—as the name indicates.
Some people blend gunpowder tea with other types of tea to create unique flavors. For example, gunpowder tea combined with spearmint tea creates a well-known blend called Moroccan mint tea.
How to Make Gunpowder TeaLook for small, tight, shiny pellets. Because of the unique manufacturing method, gunpowder tea usually stays fresh longer than other traditional types of tea.
Tea lovers used different methods to brew their gunpowder tea. Some brew it in a cup, others in a teapot and still others in a glass jar. But the simplest way is to brew it in your teacup with hot water from a temperature-controlled teapot (which allows for careful temperature maintenance).
How to Brew Gunpowder Tea
Place one teaspoon of tea leaves in the bottom of a preheated teacup.
Heat water to about 160 Fahrenheit.
Pour four to five ounces of water over the tea leaves.
Let tea leaves steep for 2-3 minutes.
Strain loose leaves from the cup before drinking.
Many tea experts say that you can use the tea leaves again for a second cup if desired.
Gunpowder Tea and CaffeineGunpowder tea is usually made with green tea leaves which originate from the Camellia sinensis plant. Usually, green tea contains about 30 milligrams of caffeine per one cup serving,1 but gunpowder tea often provides slightly more. The amount of caffeine in your cup will depend slightly on the brewing method used and on the quality of the leaves you buy.
If your gunpowder tea comes from oolong tea leaves, you'll get about 40 milligrams of caffeine (or more) per cup2 and if your gunpowder tea comes from black tea leaves you'll get about 50 milligrams of caffeine (or more) per cup.3
As a basis for comparison, a cup of black coffee contains about 100 milligrams of caffeine.4
Gunpowder Tea Health BenefitsIf your gunpowder tea is made from green tea, you may enjoy certain health benefits when you drink it. But many of the benefits that you see advertised online and in the media haven't been consistently supported by clinical studies. However, research is ongoing and scientists are learning more about the benefits of green tea every day.
According to the National Institutes of Health Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, green tea may provide a boost of mental alertness, most likely due to the caffeine content of the beverage.5 According to a review published in 2015, there is also some evidence that it may optimize cardiovascular health, reduce blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol.6
An analysis of previous studies published in 2016 found that green tea consumption was associated with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.7
Many people believe that green tea helps them to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. However, studies have not been able to prove that green tea is an effective weight loss aid.
Side EffectsGunpowder tea made from green tea is likely to be safe when consumed in moderation as a beverage. However, people who are sensitive to caffeine may experience headaches, jitters, or sleeplessness when they drink it.8 According to the FDA, for healthy adults, the maximum caffeine that should be consumed in a day before any adverse effects is about 400 mg. That's about 3-5 cups of coffee or about 8-11 cups of tea.9
