It’s got all the bold and earthy flavours of green tea, paired with the smoky and intense taste of gunpowder (not the actual gunpowder, of course), creating a unique and powerful taste that’ll make you feel like a tea-drinking warrior. It’s the perfect way to start your day with a bang, without having to wear a black belt or break a board. So sip away, and let Gunpowder Green Tea give you the caffeine kick you need to take on the day like a true ninja!”
