Gunpowder Green Tea
Frontier Loose Leaf 1 lb
'Gunpowder' is a strong tasting green
tea made from the highest quality first-harvested
tea. The tea was named 'Gunpowder' by
an imaginative English clerk who thought
the tiny rolled green tea balls looked
like balls of gunpowder. The Chinese name
is Siaou Chu, which means 'large leaf.'
It is also called 'Pearl Tea.' Rolling
the leaf both forces out the water and
brings the flavorful juices to the surface.
The dehydrated pellet retains its shape
during firing and keeps its freshness
longer than tea not manufactured in pellet
form. Once immersed in water, the tea
leaf unfurls, revealing the entire whole
leaf.

Frontier Smoked Loose Leaf 1 lb

smoked tea, and was invented by accident
- soldiers, who wanted to harvest a tea

dry the tea leaves too rapidly by smoking
them over pine fires. They thought the
crop was ruined but the tea was sold to
England, where a taste soon developed
for this unique smoky variety. Lapsang
Souchong has long been a favorite of the
British Royal Family and for millions
around the world.

Kukicha Organic Twig Tea
Frontier Loose (Camellia sinensis) 1lb
During the fall in the Uji district, the
traditional center of the Japanese tea
industry, Japanese tea farmers harvest
tea twigs from tea bushes, for Kukicha,
the 'peasant's drink', so-called because
farmers drank it after selling the leaves
to sophisticated urbanites as a cash crop.
They carefully select 40% medium 3-yr,
40% thick 10-yr, and 20% thin twigs and
leaves aged 1 year, before gently roasting
each variety separately to bring out its
rich flavor. Because caffeine is concentrated
in the leaves, twig tea is low in caffeine
and can be drunk even at night.
