Gunpowder Supreme Green Tea – Ahmad Tea
Enjoyed since the Tang Dynasty, Gunpowder Green Tea is one of China’s most treasured exports. Our Gunpowder Supreme Green is the finest expression of this traditional tea, crafted from premium leaves sourced in Zhejiang province. Expertly rolled into tight pearls and dried over wood fires, the tea develops a subtle smokiness and the natural sweetness of fresh summer grass.

This robust tea gets its name from the pellet-like shape of the leaves, which lock in flavour and aroma until steeped. Known for its strength and full-bodied taste, Gunpowder Green was prized by traders for its durability during long journeys. Today, it’s enjoyed worldwide—brewed simply with hot water or served sweetened with mint in North African traditions.

Our Tea Masters select only the youngest, most resilient leaves that can withstand the traditional process of withering, steaming, rolling, and fire-drying. The result is a bright, honey-gold infusion with grassy notes and smouldering oak undertones. Carefully foil-wrapped to preserve its freshness, this antioxidant-rich tea supports digestion and offers a soothing, revitalising experience.

Brew at 85°C to avoid bitterness and enjoy throughout the day—hot, with lemon, or iced with mint and sugar for a refreshing summer drink. Gunpowder Supreme Green is a must for green tea lovers seeking a smooth, complex cup.
