Green Dragon
Given the name gunpowder because of it's pellet-like appearance, this Chinese tea is known strong, smoky flavour and dark green leaves which have been carefully selected then rolled into small pellets. The tea produces a dark green liquor with a strong nutty flavour that can be a little bitter. This can be refreshing, but the flavour can be enhanced by adding sugar. As the leaves are tightly rolled they stay fresh longer than other teas.
