Frequently Asked Questions
Does Culinary Teas Royal Ceylon Gunpowder Green Tea have caffeine?
Yes. This green tea contains moderate caffeine—typically 25–50mg per 8oz cup depending on steep time—providing a natural energy lift without the intensity of black tea.
How do I brew this green tea for best results?
Steep 1 teaspoon per 8oz cup in water heated to 160–180°F for 2–3 minutes. The leaves rebrush beautifully, so keep them for a second or third infusion to fully unlock the smoky, woody character.
What makes this green tea different from standard varieties?
The gunpowder-style leaves and full-bodied, smoky profile create a richer, more substantial cup than most green teas, with deeper flavor notes and greater complexity in every steep.
