Known for its tightly rolled leaves that resemble grains of gunpowder, this Chinese green tea became a treasured staple in colonial America during the 18th century. Its compact form made it ideal for long sea voyages, and it quickly became central to daily life and British cultural identity. The tea earned its place in American history during the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when colonists, disguised as Mohawk warriors, boarded British ships and dumped 342 chests into Boston Harbor as a defiant stand against the Tea Act and imperial authority.
With a bold, nutty character and subtle smoky undertones, this loose leaf tea delivers a complex and satisfying cup that honors its revolutionary heritage.
