A full leaf tea from the Orient with a clear fragrant liquor.

A crisp fresh green tea with a clear golden color, Twinings Gunpowder Green Tea can be enjoyed at any time of the day. Each leaf is rolled into a tiny compact pellet, giving it the appearance of old-fashioned lead shot--hence the name, but the term could just have easily have come from the way the pellets explode to many times their size, and release the distinctive flavor, when brewed. Green Tea is a natural source of antioxidants that may help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals, and is naturally low in calories when served without milk or sugar. These characteristics make green tea an ideal accompaniment for a healthy lifestyle. Enjoy piping hot or as an iced tea with lemon.
