Gunpowder green tea comes from the camellia sinensis plant, just like all varieties of green tea. Although the leaves are the same as those in other teas, they're presented a bit differently: gunpowder tea leaves are rolled into small pellets that expand when steeped, releasing the flavor and nutrients. Organic ingredients: green tea leaf. Directions: 1 tsp per 250mls, 3 - 5 mins at 80 degrees serve: hot or chilled "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease".
