Dammann Gunpowder Green Tea – 25 Tea Bags 50g

Gunpowder green tea takes its name from the pellet shape of each leaf — tightly rolled, unfurling in hot water to release a bold, slightly smoky flavor with mineral undertones. Dammann Frères, the Parisian tea house founded in 1692, sources this classic Chinese-style green tea for its intensity and complexity. At 50 grams across 25 convenient tea bags, this is everyday tea that doesn't compromise on character.

About this product

Unlike delicate white or subtle jasmine greens, Gunpowder carries a distinctive peppery bite balanced by a clean, dry finish. The leaves are hand-rolled into small pellets that steep evenly, delivering consistency cup to cup. Dammann's version is neither overly bitter nor thin — it's the tea you reach for when you want presence in your cup.

How to enjoy

• Steep one bag in 200ml of hot water (75–80°C) for 2–3 minutes.
• Drink plain or with a slice of lemon to brighten the mineral notes.
• Chill overnight and serve over ice with fresh mint for a refreshing afternoon drink.
• Pair with light pastries, salty crackers, or a simple cheese course.

⭐ Why we love this

Dammann Frères' Gunpowder green tea is a masterclass in the tea merchant's craft — sourced and perfected by a house with three centuries of expertise. The hand-rolled pellets unfurl with a distinctive peppery character that refuses to be ignored, making this the thinking person's green tea, not a timid everyday brew.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve this with Spanish tapas like jamón ibérico, manchego cheese, or pan con tomate to let the mineral peppery notes cut through richness. For a lighter moment, pair with almond-based pastries or salty ensaimadas — the clean finish cleanses the palate between bites.
