Customer Rating:      Summary: Beyond basic... Comment: A lot of the other reviewers describe this as basic, sort of low-end but decent tea--I think it goes beyond that. It is strong and it will get bitter if the brewing temperature is too high--so don't let the water boil! My husband and I have been drinking this tea for years now, and while we've tried much more expensive teas such as Teavana, we keep coming back to this over and over. It's our favorite and if it's brewed just right it has a tangy, smoky complexity that's just unbeatable. I always get sick of drinking other teas after awhile, but I never, ever get tired of this one. I drink it throughout the day--it's good hot or iced. How nice to find it on Amazon in bulk.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Twinings Green Tea Comment: I ordered Twinings Green Gunpowder With Mint. Without notice I recieved regular not with Mint which is nothing like I ordered.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Starts My Every Morning! Comment: I have enjoyed a cup of tea, preferably green tea, for breakfast in the morning for over 50 years, and I'm here to say this is the very best of all. I never used to like bothering with loose tea but this is very manageable as it is rolled young tea leaves. It's actually fun to handle! You can make it as strong as you like it. For a green tea it is very robust, I'd call it the Irish breakfast of green tea. I'm totally spoiled for other green teas now and am very happy to be able to buy the multi packs. Thanks Amazon!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good green tea Comment: This is a basic, good green tea. I use enough for a 4-cup batch, but use only water for 1-cup. In this way, I can drink a condensed form of it at my work desk all day long. This keeps me from sneaking into the coffee room and getting my caffeine only from coffee sources. Not that this is bad (my company gets the best coffee in the world), but all too often there are high-calorie or high-salt snacks lurking in the coffee room, just waiting for you to bounce in there! Yikes!! And you always fall for it: I don't care who you are or how steeled your thoughts are against taking any "free" coffee-room snacks.
Getting back to the tea. This gunpowder green tea tastes great and it is entertaining too. The "gunpowder" is rolled up little balls of tea leaves, and if you make this in clear glass you can watch them unroll (explode, like gunpowder). This isn't the highest quality, but the price is right and it tastes good. Perfect for your average normal day. For that, I give it 5 stars.
Customer Rating:      Summary: gunpowder green tea Comment: This is best loose green tea I have yet tried.
I boil H20 seperately in office microwave => then pour into my personal heat treated glass cup with stainless infuser, then watch gunpowder leaves unfurl!
