Mlesna Royal Gunpowder Tea, Triple Laminate Bag is a Ceylon green tea whose leaves are rolled into small pellets, the gunpowder style, which open in the pot. It comes as loose leaf tea in a triple-laminate bag, a three-layer foil-lined pouch that keeps out light, air and moisture, in 100g and 200g packs; pick your size above.
Use water just off the boil (about 80 C), one teaspoon (or one bag) per cup, for two to three minutes, so the cup stays smooth.
Mlesna is a Sri Lankan tea house founded in 1983 by tea taster Anselm Perera; this is the Sri Lankan pack, shipped worldwide from Sri Lanka. See the whole Mlesna range.
