China is the country of birth of tea. The Chinese prefer green tea, which can be found in a very great variety. Gunpowder tea is a very popular type. The Chinese name is Siaou Chu, which means large leaf. These “green pearls” are made by careful, tight rolling, which binds the leaves´ spicy substances on the surface, and discharges the excess water. Due to its dense structure, only small quantities are needed for each infusion. The pearls are characterised by their slightly nutty, typically fresh and tangy taste and the somewhat darker, green cup colour.
