About this Tea:

The cup displays notes of smoke and sweet grass, with subtle undertones of burnt honey. A common mistake is to brew gunpowder in water that is too hot and scalding to the mouth. If this is done, many of the subtle layers of character may be lost. Instead, use water that has almost reached the boiling point. This will allow your tongue to properly catalogue the nuances of the tea without searing your taste buds. Pin Lin Gunpowder - a stunning example of a Taiwanese gunpowder tea.
