Gunpowder tea refers to a specific type of Chinese green tea, in which the tea leaves are tightly rolled in such a way that resembles gunpowder pellets. Gunpowder green tea has a smoky aroma as the leaves are pan-fired over wood smoke. Gunpowder tea is widely consumed in China and is popular worldwide. It is also the type of tea traditionally used in Moroccan mint tea.
Much less common, there is also a type of tea called gunpowder black tea, also having leaves tightly-rolled into round pellets.
