From the manufacturer

Zhejiang Province

Chinese Tea Field

Zhejiang Province

World famous Gunpowder green tea from China. It derives its name from the Chinese word ‘Zhucha’, meaning Pearl Tea, and from the tightly rolled shape of the leaves.

Although there are several grades available in Pearl tea, the most famous are ‘Pinhead Gunpowder’ and ‘Temple of Heaven Gunpowder’. In both cases, three factors determine the high quality:

  1. Body: Should be small, tightly rolled leaves.
  2. Regularity: The size of the pearls should be consistent.
  3. Uniform dark color.

The Pearl is from the small town of Pinshui in Zhejiang province, China. Zhejiang is the world’s largest producer of green tea with a rich tea culture. Pearl tea is made in early spring. In Morocco and Russia, it is blended with fresh mint and sugar and often made iced. We offer this blend as Moroccan Mint.

Pearl

A Premium Green Tea

Our Pearl Green Tea is a high quality and delicious green tea. Completely rolled by hand, multiples leaves are painstakingly weaved together. This improves flavor and aroma, allowing the volatile nutrients that make tea so delicious stay around a little longer.

Doesn't have rich green tea nor fried rice taste. The can is about half full. Also couldn't understand pop corn pieces in the mix.
