Ceylon Gunpowder
Superior quality 100% pure Ceylon Tea Natural Ingredients Free from artificial additives
Ceylon Gunpowder is GP1-grade green tea from Uva — tightly rolled pellets that unfurl in hot water for a full-bodied, slightly oaky cup with a classic gunpowder character.
Our leaf is greenish, slightly high-fired and refreshingly brisk with a hint of oakiness. Pour near-boiling water over the balls and watch them open into a satisfying green tea with real Ceylon depth — sharp, invigorating and true to style.

Where It's Grown
On the sun-drenched eastern slopes of Sri Lanka's central highlands, Uva is home to some of the most aromatic teas in the world. Between 900 and 1,500 metres, the leaf matures slowly in cool mountain air, building a crisp, clean briskness and a pronounced aroma with hints of wood and honey.
Our Ceylon Gunpowder (GP1 grade) brings this character to the cup: full bodied and sharp.
From December to February the northeast monsoon brings rain to these eastern hills. Then, from July to September, the dry, cool kachan winds of the southwest monsoon sweep over the mountains. This gentle stress concentrates flavour in the leaf, giving Uva's seasonal teas their famous mellow, almost wintergreen-like fragrance.
