Parched, steamed, rolled and then dried: this is how gunpowder tea is made.
Rolling makes the leaves less susceptible to damage and breakage and better preserves the aroma. The silky, shimmering leaf has a very high content of essential oils. The tea itself tastes pleasantly strong and spicy, with each subsequent infusion revealing more flavor nuances.
In this form, green tea found its long way from China to the countries of Northwest Africa, where it became the typical ingredient of the traditional Maghrebian mint tea. This consists of green tea, Nana mint and lots of sugar. We have the authentic blend of this tea in stock for you as well - Le Touareg green tea. You just need to add the sugar.
Ingredients from controlled organic cultivation: green tea from China.
