Green tea "gunpowder"
This green tea owes its name to an agent of the British East India Company, who compared the appearance of the tea to gunpowder. The Chinese also call this tea pearl tea. Each leaf is rolled into a solid ball shape that "explodes" when infused.
Fine Gunpowder has a yellow-green infusion with a bright, fresh-bitter aroma. In Morocco, this tea is the base for the famous mint tea.

300 YEARS OF TWININGS TEA
TWININGS TEA
Thomas Twining was the founder of what is now Twinings Tea. Competing with hundreds of coffee houses in London, he had to ensure his tea was of exceptional quality in order to stand out.
Despite the high taxes imposed on tea at the time, tea became the most popular beverage in England, and Twinings Tea became the best-known tea brand in the world.
Twinings teas are refined, accessible, and consistently high in quality.
