The Gunpowder green tea gets its name from the appearance of its leaves, which resemble grains of gunpowder. This shape "traps" their aroma and releases it when the small, green pellets begin to unravel in hot water.
Gunpowder tea has astringent properties, making it useful for digestive issues. Green tea is full of polyphenols and phytochemicals with strong antioxidant properties, which are also responsible for its bitter taste.
It contains six main polyphenols known as catechins, which are found in larger amounts compared to black tea. Epigallocatechin (also known as EGCG) is one of the main and most active catechins in green tea.
Finally, it contains alkaloids, that is, alkaline substances like caffeine, in smaller amounts compared to those found in black tea and Oolong, which have stimulating properties.
