Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Zum Zum Gunpowder Mint?
This green tea blend contains significantly less caffeine than black tea or coffee, making it ideal for those seeking lighter afternoon or evening tea. Exact caffeine varies with brewing time and leaf amount.
How do I brew this loose-leaf tea properly?
Steep 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup in water heated to 160–180°F for 2–3 minutes. The pellets will unfurl into long leaves. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice once cooled.
