About Green TeaAbout Gunpowder PearlsThe "gunpowder grade" is a classic green tea from China (Camellia sinensis), known for its rolled pellet-like leaves. Like all green teas, it is unfermented. Hot water causes the tea leaves to open up like flowers and sink slowly to the bottom in graceful patterns. Green Tea Health BenefitsGreen Tea Caffeine ContentOnly one-fourth the caffeine of coffee!
