A tea made with Gunpowder Green Tea and Rose Hips offers a unique and delightful flavor profile that combines the smoky, robust characteristics of gunpowder tea with the tangy, fruity sweetness of rose hips. Here’s a breakdown of the taste experience:
 
Taste Profile:
Gunpowder Green Tea: Known for its slightly smoky, robust, and vegetal flavor, gunpowder green tea has a distinct taste with a light astringency. Its tightly rolled leaves unfurl during brewing, releasing a rich, slightly bitter flavor with a touch of earthiness.
Rose Hips: Contribute a tart, fruity flavor with mild floral notes, reminiscent of cranberries or wild berries. The tanginess of the rose hips provides a refreshing contrast to the more earthy and smoky notes of the gunpowder tea, adding a light, bright dimension to the blend.
 
Overall Impression:
This tea is an intriguing mix of bold and refreshing flavors. The smoky, slightly bitter profile of gunpowder green tea is complemented by the tangy, sweet undertones of rose hips, creating a tea that is both invigorating and subtly soothing. The tartness of the rose hips helps balance out the deeper, more robust flavor of the gunpowder tea, resulting in a well-rounded and pleasant cup.
 
DIRECTIONS:
These easy to follow directions are included in your package. 
1. Bring 8oz of water to a slight boil. Green tea doesn’t like reall hot water.
2. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of the loose tea blend into a tea bag or tea infuser. You can place the loose tea directly into a teapot or cup to steep but you will need to strain it before you drink the tea.
3. Pour boiling water over the loose tea and let steep 2 -3 minutes, in a covered cup with hot water for maximum flavor. over steeping leads to a bitter brew.
4. Remove the loose tea and sweeten if desired.
5. Enjoy!
