Temple of Heaven China Green Tea Special Gunpowder 1 Kilo Guaranteed Authenticity, 2.2 Pound (Pack of 1)

Good tea and very concentrated. Bitter. It requires a lot of sugar.

No surprises, great tea, gets here when promised, great price.

I love it

This is a lot of tea for the price. The box is even bigger than I remember. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Gunpowder tea is a strong and basic green tea. If you are looking for something delicate or flowery, this is not for you. You definitely don't need to use much of this; it is very economical. The packaging is rather minimal. I am not complaining. I'm just saying that you are not going to get a zip-lock pouch like you do with the more expensive teas. As soon as I got it, I transferred it from the box to two airtight tea tins. No problem. I am extremely happy with my purchase and would buy again.

1) Positive: This does not look like your typical gunpowder tea that is rolled up in little balls or nuggets. It is more like chopped tea leaves or middle grade tea (with tiny parts and powder being low grade and full leaf being high grade). However, it definitely has a gunpowder tea flavor. It is a strong green tea. It is a great everyday tea and of good quality. It is also more than 2 lbs making it an excellent buy. 2) Negative: The packaging is the worst I have seen. The thin plastic wrap was broken on delivery. Inside the box the paper wrap is not enough protection. Immediately remove the tea from its packaging and store so as to avoid light, heat, and moisture. I keep some of the better packing I receive when purchasing teas for reuse and that is where mine went as soon as I opened it. 3) Shipping: I am making this public in an effort to facilitate a change. My tea was left at my front door. No, they did not ring the doorbell. No, they did not knock on the door. Yes, I was home. Yes, I checked the front often. No, they did not leave it at the back like I usually request, but such requests have been ignored in the past. The obvious problem with the front door is that I live on a busy street, there is a fast food restaurant next door, there is a bus stop in front of my house, a commuter train stop in front of my house, and a pedestrian marked cross path with flashing signs right in front of my house. How anyone can be so careless and unprofessional as to leave a package of any kind in such an overly public place is beyond reasoning out. Hence, my need to add this to my review in the hopes that public awareness will promote a change.

It's a high-quality pure product in a convenient package.

This is the worse tea, if you can call it tea, that I have ever tasted. There is no aroma or flavor or the normal ‘gunpowder’ taste whatsoever. Dirty dish water may have a better taste. 😡.

Excellent tea. Excellent price. I frequently brew a combination Green tea/Jamaica beverage sweetened with pure stevia for a very healthy drink.
