When John Harney started in the tea trade over 30 years ago, there were just two green tea offerings from China: Gunpowder and Chun Mee. Though our selection has expanded greatly since then, many people are very familiar with and enjoy Gunpowder's sharp, charred flavor.
I was really looking forward to trying this tea, but the bag arrived torn and half spilled. I contacted customer service, but the response was slow. I haven't even tasted it yet, so I can’t comment on the flavor, just the bad experience with delivery.

Not what I expected, but good
The tea is pretty good, but honestly, I expected a bolder flavor based on the description. It’s nice, but I was hoping for something with more punch. The packaging was solid, and the loose tea was fresh. Just didn’t blow my mind!

Great tea for daily use!
I've been a fan of Harney & Sons for years, and their Organic Gunpowder is no exception. The 16oz bag lasts me quite a while, and I really appreciate the quality of the loose tea. It brews a strong, smoky flavor that's perfect for my afternoon pick-me-up!

Decent flavor, but leaves some residue
I enjoyed the taste of this gunpowder tea, but I wish it didn't leave so much residue in my cup. The 16oz size is great for sharing, but I found myself needing a strainer for smoother sipping. Still, it’s a solid option if you don’t mind a little extra work!
