Packaging: Cardboard box of 24 individually enveloped tea bags
Origin: China

In China, its tightly rolled leaves have earned it the name “tea pearls”; in the West, it is known as Gunpowder. Gunpowder Tea Bags N°38 hold this classic Chinese green tea, selected by Dammann Frères, one of France’s oldest tea houses, founded in 1692. Lively, vegetal, and pleasantly astringent, with notes of green almond and tobacco, it yields a fresh, thirst-quenching cup. Use it for a traditional Moroccan mint tea, with fresh mint and sugar.
