Harvest Seasons & Seasonal Flavor Profiles
Spring Harvest (First Flush - March to April)
Characterized by tender leaves, high amino acid content, a smoother cup profile, and a refined, lingering sweetness. Highly sought after for premium retail tiers (3505AAA).
Summer & Autumn Harvest (May to October)
Features robust leaves, a bolder structure, and a stronger, more pronounced smoky punch. This is the traditional favorite for authentic North African mint tea blends due to its ability to stand up to heavy spearmint and sugar.
The Traditional Craft: How Our 3505 Gunpowder Tea is Made
Withering (Controlled Moisture Reduction)
Freshly harvested leaves are carefully withered to reduce moisture content while preserving natural enzymes and antioxidants.
Wok-Firing & Fixation
Traditional high-temperature wok-firing halts oxidation, instantly sealing in the vibrant green color and creating the characteristic, authentic smoky note that global buyers demand.
Precision Rolling into Pearls
Advanced mechanical rolling techniques tightly compress the leaves into dense, pellet-like pearls (resembling gunpowder), ensuring the tea is durable and resistant to breaking during international transit.
Multi-Stage Sifting & Classification
State-of-the-art vibrating screens and optical sorters remove dust and impurities, ensuring uniform grain size and absolute cleanliness across all export grades.
Buyer’s Guide: How to Evaluate Quality 3505 Gunpowder Tea
Dry Leaf Appearance
Tightness & Density: Pellets must be tightly rolled, heavy, and compact. Avoid loose, open, or flaky leaves.
Luster & Color: Look for a darkened green hue with a natural silvery-gray or oily luster.
Cleanliness: Minimal dust, broken bits, and stems for absolute visual clarity.
Brewed Cup Profile
Infused Leaves: Pearls should unroll evenly into tender, intact green leaves.
Liquor Color: Bright, clear, and vibrant yellow-green or golden liquor (avoid dull or muddy liquids).
Aroma: Clean, fresh, and natural, featuring a signature balanced smoky note without musty odors.
Taste and Mouthfeel
Body & Strength: Robust, bold, and full-bodied to easily balance heavy mint and sugar.
Finish: A slight initial bitterness that quickly transitions into a smooth, clean, and lingering sweet finish.
Infusion Durability
Multi-Steep Resilience: High-density pearls should release flavor gradually across multiple infusions rather than flatting out after one brew.
