Gunpowder Green Tea originated in China and was named for its resemblance to gunpowder pellets. The name was given by European traders who first encountered this tea in the 16th century. The rolling of the tea leaves preserves their freshness and helps the flavor develop during steeping. Today, gunpowder green tea remains a beloved variety, especially popular in North Africa, where it is often brewed with mint and sugar to create the iconic Moroccan mint tea.
