NumiOrganic Gunpowder Green Tea, 16 Ounce Pouch, Full-Bodied Loose Leaf Green Tea Pearls, Brew 200 Cups, Packaging May Vary

This tea was of very good quality in my opinion. It was fresh, had a nice aroma, and plenty of caffeine content for my preferred energy boost. It is also worth the price compared to other brands. I have been drinking it for a long time and even when its older, it still has great taste. Would recommend and purchase again.

This tea has a low oxidation and low/medium roast. The thing about roasting is that the tea continues to change for about a year. This tea is not bad before then, but after a year it has really opened up into something very nice, with high florals and a nectar sweet taste, an oily-smooth texture, and fairly well-rounded body. The roast is well done and compliments the natural tea and gives a little definition to the florals (making it smell like flowers up close, instead of the vague smell of flowers from far away)Before the roast settles, in that year leading up to it, it won't be as balanced but you'll still notice that it's sweet and floral. It's still better than other commercial teas in the US.The fact that it improves over a year is a good reason to buy a big bag. If you want to maximize the experience, try leaving the leaf that you intend to use out in the open for a few days (not all of it; just what you plan to use) and use good, boiling hot water (it can take it).

I don't know if I want to leave a positive review here because this item is often out of stock. The more people who know about it's great, rich flavor without caffeine, the more people will buy it.There are *no* "natural" or "artificial flavorings," a rarity that is tough to find combined with the flavor. The quality of the tea is stellar, where you can see (and understand) each ingredient. I love seeing it in the glass jar I store it in since it is beautiful to look at. I use this nearly every morning combined with honey, some unsweetened cacao, and a splash of oat milk to make my mornings comfy and inviting. Super love it.

For me it is economical and very good but it doesn’t have the strong jasmine taste like the Numi tea bag. I love the mild jasmine flavor and the smell of the jasmine in the tea bag. Also, loose leaf tea requires you to get the amount right. I am still working on getting it just right. I tend to drink more tea when using the loose leaf than when using the tea bag. The loose leaf is convenient for many cups. The tea bag has the stronger jasmine flavor and is convenient when in a hurry. I use both. In general this is the best tasting affordable Green tea I have found.

I have tried a lot of different Earl Grey teas, starting with Twinings 35 years ago. I really like Tazo as well, but finding their loose tea is really difficult now. After doing some research on tea leaves, I decided to try an Earl Grey using all Assam tea leaves for their stronger flavor. Irish tea uses Assam while Earl Grey is usually a mix of Ceylon with Assam. And of course, the team must be aged, using real Bergamo oil, not flavoring.I am a dietitian, and an absolute food and tea snob! lolSo this tea to me, is the absolute best. They unfortunately keep running out of it though so I did try Harney and Sons and they’re very good as well.

Just tried my gunpowder loose leaf green tea. I added a little honey and a smidge of almond milk. So good! I love the strong (but not bitter) taste of this tea and will definitely keep this stocked in my pantry!

Amazon won’t let me leave separate reviews. The Oolong tea is AMAZING! But the rooibos chai was terrible. No discernible pieces of anything other than the peppercorn and clove. Tastes like sawdust. Worst chai I’ve ever had. But get the Oolong and Aged Earl Grey!

I've been ordering this tea forever, but I thought it was a little pricey so I tried another brand. Huge mistake! the other less expensive mint tea was full of twigs and tasted horrible. The Numi Organic Moroccan Mint Tea is incredibly flavorful and the actual tea is just the leaves, no twigs. A little bit more expensive, but totally worth it. I'll never go back.
