ARIEL Gunpowder Temple of Heaven

ARIEL Gunpowder Temple of Heaven is a Chinese whole leaf green tea, available in a 1 kg bulk bag for café programs, tea service menus, and wholesale retail placement. The rolled pellet format delivers a consistent steep and a bold, characterful cup across high-volume service settings.

Tasting Notes

The pellets unfurl during steeping to produce a medium to full-bodied cup with a clean, direct character. Notes of earth and gentle vegetal depth follow a mild astringency on the finish. The liquor steeps to a warm amber — distinctive on a café menu.

Origin

Sourced from the Pingshui growing region of Zhejiang province, China. Temple of Heaven designates the grade — placing this among the recognized standards within the gunpowder category. Hand-rolling the leaves into tight pellets preserves volatile aromatics and extends shelf life. This makes it a practical choice for wholesale accounts managing inventory across a full beverage program.

Brewing

Steep 2.5 g per cup in water at 70–85°C for 3–4 minutes. The pellet form is well suited to standard infuser baskets and loose leaf brewing equipment.
