Replacement brand  - Golden Sail Brand.Experience the rich tradition of Chinese loose-leaf tea with CAP Brand Special Gunpowder Green Tea. Produced by the respected Central Asia Pacific (CAP) brand (榮文牌), this "Special Grade" green tea is universally prized for its distinctive shape, deep herbal aroma, and intense, long-lasting flavor profile. Known in Chinese as Pearl Tea (珠茶), each whole tea leaf is meticulously rolled into a tiny, tightly curled pellet that resembles a grain of black gunpowder. This historical rolling technique is not just aesthetic; it seals in the leaves' volatile aromatic oils and natural juices, naturally preserving freshness and flavor over long periods without the need for artificial additives.Premium Roll Quality: Features heavy, uniform, dark-green "pearls" that rattle cleanly in a tin (a traditional sign of expert air-drying and roasting)., Distinctive Smoky Character: Steeps into a bright, deep-yellow or golden-amber liquor, yielding a robust, slightly smoky aroma balanced by a toasted, nutty flavor. , High Yield Leaf Expansion: Watch the tightly rolled pellets dramaticly unfurl and snap as they absorb hot water, expanding into full-sized tea leaves. , Naturally Preserved: Free from sugars, additives, or hidden flavorings—just 100% authentic, premium Chinese green tea.,
