I use it more as a refreshing drink & for its high antioxidant content. Very low to virtually caffeine free which suits later in the day consumption or those days I don`t use any caffeine.

For those points it is perfect. If I could get the same taste out of black tea then I would be in heaven.

Just picked up some gunpowder (green) tea & a very nice, beautifully smelling blend of black & green tea with hints of rose & sunflower blossoms.

Is the gunpowder a matcha? Real powdery?

No.

Its as described here

You can click on the pictures at the side to give a good view. I would have said more like lead shot rather than gunpowder in appearance.

Quite nice & low in caffeine so ideal for later in the day. A level teaspoon seems to give me about 3 infusions with each one quite different in flavour & colour.

You probably jinxed yourself and giving such a review means they will discontinue it. :mrgreen:

Had the chance to sample some of this today. Classed as a blue tea & it was exquisite. The taste/texture was unbelievable.

Then was left with the dilemma of do I go for taste or pure health benefits.

Went with health benefits & bought this one.

Seen flavoured coffees before but some of the teas I'm finding are on a completely different level to your Tetley teabags :lol:

If I remember I'll shoot you up a few samples of the teas I have.
