Introduction of Gunpowder Green Tea
It is a form of green Chinese tea that each leaf has been rolled into a small round pellet. It is believed to take its English
name from the fact that the tea resembles blackpowder grains. This rolling method of shaping tea is most often applied
either to dried green tea (the most commonly encountered variety outside China) or Oolong tea.
Gunpowder tea production dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) but it was first introduced to Taiwan in the 19th
century. Gunpowder tea leaves are withered, steamed, rolled, and then dried. Although the individual leaves were formerly
rolled by hand, today most gunpowder tea is rolled by machines (though the highest grades are still rolled by hand).
Rolling renders the leaves less susceptible to physical damage and breakage and allows them to retain more of their
flavor and aroma. In addition, it allows certain types of oolong teas to be aged for decades if they are cared for by being
occasionally roasted.
