Gunpowder Temple of Heaven

Gunpowder Temple of Heaven – Premium-Grade Zhejiang Pellet Green Tea

Gunpowder Temple of Heaven, also known as Ping Shui Zhu Cha, is a Chinese green tea traditionally grown and produced in Zhejiang Province. It is distinctive in both flavor and appearance and easily recognized by its shiny, glossy, tightly rolled pellets. For cafes, tea shops, restaurants and retailers, it is a classic green tea with strong demand, including as the traditional base for Moroccan mint tea.

The signature pellet shape is created by drying the leaves in rolling drums, where constant rotation forms them into small spheres resembling gunpowder. The Temple of Heaven grade is premium quality, and its tight roll and glossy appearance are clear signs of superior leaf. Compared with standard gunpowder teas, it has a softer aroma and less bitterness while still offering the bold, satisfying flavor this classic is known for. The dry leaf is shiny, glossy and tightly rolled. The aroma is gently green with slight smokiness; the flavor is bold, thick and strong with a smoky note; and the finish leaves a slightly coppery aftertaste. Because the pellets open slowly, the tea supports several flavorful infusions, and its bold character appeals to customers who prefer a stronger green tea. It is naturally rich in antioxidants. It can be served plain, combined with fresh mint and a little sugar for traditional Moroccan mint tea, or iced, and it pairs well with savory dishes and grilled foods.
