After it has been withered it is steamed and rolled into small pellets without breaking the leaf veins, so the enzymes, or juices of the leaf, are not released. These are then dried. The pellets look remarkably like gunshot or gunpowder giving the tea its descriptive name. Gunpowder tea has a soft honey or coppery liquor with a herby smooth light taste.

Gunpowder Temple of Heaven tastes thick and strong, with a subtle hint of smoky flavor and a slight aftertaste.

The best way to making this tea is to steep in water of 80-90°C degrees.
