Club del Gourmet Gunpowder Green Tea with Mint – 100g

Club del Gourmet sources this gunpowder green tea from established suppliers who understand that true quality lies in the leaf itself. The blend pairs the distinctive rolled pellets of gunpowder green tea—sharp, grassy, with a hint of smoke—with fresh spearmint that softens the brew into something more inviting without overwhelming the tea's natural character. At 100 grams, this is a thoughtful quantity for someone who drinks loose-leaf daily.

About this product

Gunpowder green tea gets its name from the small, tightly rolled pellets that unfurl slowly in hot water, releasing flavor gradually. When steeped at around 70–80°C, the mint complements the tea's vegetal notes rather than masking them. This is an everyday cup, not a ceremonial one—the kind you reach for in the afternoon or after dinner, when you want something that refreshes without the caffeine jolt of black tea.

How to enjoy

• Steep one teaspoon per cup in water around 75°C for 2–3 minutes.
• Drink it hot in the evening, or cool it and serve over ice with a slice of lemon.
• Pair with light pastries, biscuits, or fresh fruit.
• Resteep the same leaves 2–3 times; gunpowder tea opens gradually with each infusion.

⭐ Why we love this

Club del Gourmet's gunpowder-mint blend honors a timeless Spanish tradition of afternoon tea culture, where quality loose-leaf blends are treasured for their sustainability and flavor complexity. The spearmint is restrained rather than perfumed—a hallmark of Spanish tea refinement that respects the leaf over novelty.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve this after a light Spanish lunch or dinner, or pair it with *polvorones* (crumbly almond biscuits) or *roscas de almendra* (almond rings) for an authentic merienda moment. Its cooling properties also make it ideal as a chilled afternoon refresher during Spanish summer months.

📍 From Spain

Club del Gourmet, El Corte Inglés's premium house brand, sources its teas through established European suppliers and blends them to exacting Spanish standards. While gunpowder green tea originates in China, this Spanish-curated blend reflects the country's discerning approach to imported tea quality and mindful consumption.
