Origin: Zhejiang’s Tea-Growing Legacy‌


Produced in Zhejiang, China, a region synonymous with tea excellence, Gunpowder Green Tea 3505AAA thrives in the province’s misty hills and fertile soils. Zhejiang’s subtropical climate, with ample rainfall and moderate temperatures, creates ideal conditions for cultivating tender tea shoots. The area’s rich tea heritage, dating back centuries, combines time-honored techniques with sustainable practices. Local farmers prioritize organic cultivation, avoiding synthetic additives to maintain the tea’s purity. Notably, Zhejiang’s Shaoxing and Zhuji districts specialize in gunpowder tea production, leveraging their expertise in rolling and firing leaves to perfection. This terroir-driven approach ensures a product deeply rooted in tradition yet aligned with global quality standards.

Harvesting and Crafting Process‌


The tea is handpicked in early spring, selecting only the youngest leaves and buds to ensure tenderness and nutrient density. Skilled workers pluck the shoots using a “one bud, one leaf” technique, followed by immediate withering to reduce moisture. The leaves undergo high-temperature steaming to halt oxidation, preserving their vibrant color and fresh flavor. Artisans then roll the leaves into pellets using bamboo trays, applying precise pressure to achieve the signature tight shape. Finally, the pellets are dried in bamboo baskets over charcoal fires, infusing a subtle smokiness. Rigorous sorting removes imperfect pellets, guaranteeing consistency. This labor-intensive process, blending manual skill and modern hygiene protocols, results in a tea that embodies both artistry and precision.
