Description
The Gunpowder Tea by Cova Pastry Shop Montenapoleone is a premium green tea originating from China’s Zhejiang province, renowned for its exceptional plantations. The leaves are handpicked and individually rolled according to ancient Chinese tradition, preserving their aroma and organoleptic qualities intact.
Upon opening, it releases a grassy bouquet with subtle smoky notes reminiscent of burnt charcoal. Once infused, it takes on a bright yellow‑green hue and reveals nuances of hazelnut and seaweed, for a unique sensory experience. Thanks to its natural antioxidant content, this Gunpowder tea supports focus and provides energy, making it perfect for breakfast or a revitalizing break.
For optimal preparation, heat the water to 80°C and use one teaspoon of leaves (2 g) per 150 ml of water. Steep for 2–3 minutes, adjusting the time according to the desired intensity. The leaves can be used for a second infusion, yielding a more delicate yet still well-balanced taste.
Cova Pastry Shop Montenapoleone, founded in Milan in 1817, is synonymous with tradition, craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality. Each package of Cova Gunpowder Tea is sealed in a protected atmosphere to preserve freshness and aroma, offering a refined, authentic product.
