History & Origin
Production of gunpowder green tea reportedly started in the Tang Dynasty. The handcrafting method differs from other Chinese pan-fired green teas as 'gunpowder' is slightly withered, steamed, rolled, and dried. 

The steaming step is unconventional for pan-fired green teas (typically you'll see only one of either steaming or pan-firing), but this additional step creates a bolder, in-your-face green tea that is ideal to wake up with. 

This batch of tea was farmed organically in the hills of Central Hunan Province.
