Rolling the leaf has two effects on quality of the tea. The leaves are tightly rolled into small pearls. When infused, they explode, yielding a refreshingly sweet, amber liquor. The difference in flavor is remarkable. Since hand rolled generally represents a higher quality, the flavor is much more subtle, not at all harsh; very smooth foretaste and long, long delightful aftertaste. Rolling also forces out water, thus helping to reduce the Gunpowder green teas final moisture content.

It is also called 'Pearl Tea.' Rolling the leaf both forces out the water and brings the flavorful juices to the surface. The dehydrated pellet retains its shape during firing and keeps its freshness longer than tea not manufactured in pellet form. Once immersed in water, the tea leaf extends, revealing...

Put 6 teaspoons of tea into a heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 10-15 minutes or longer. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into the pitcher straining the ingredients. Add ice and top-up with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
