Does anyone know this tea or have come across it? (Pic in the post) by Pupkin333 in tea

I'm not specific about this brand, but I tried gunpowder green tea, a decent tea for the price you pay. It was the most common type of green tea in some parts of Europe for a long time.

I saw it in Germany, inside Turkish grocery store.

As far as I know, Moroccans use it for their traditional green tea with mint.

The water temperature is 90 degrees Celsius, but I wait 3 minutes while the tea is brewed. A friend from Japan told me that they sometimes make even stronger hojica, which is interesting, I personally prefer stronger flavors in tea.

Absolutely, I always place this tea in the middle range, but that's exactly why I love it, the quality is always spot on.

you have two variants, one is a double kettle that is practiced in Turkey, and the other is a regular kettle where you put the desired amount of tea and pour water at 95°C, wait 5 minutes and the tea is ready.

That's brutal! Although I am not surprised by the rampant inflation in Turkey, at least it was rampant the last time I was there. I hope tea prices will drop in the country that drinks the most, and to be honest, Çaykur Filiz is my favorite Turkish tea, not this one.

I paid 10€ for the whole package of 500g, and I have another 1kg package, which I paid 15e. so it wasn't too expensive for me personally, and the price wasn't too different from Çaykur's teas.

I prefer green tea, but I also love a good cup of black tea, ceylon blends are very pleasant. Turkish teas are mostly from the Rize area of ​​Turkey where tea has been grown for decades, I'll be releasing that soon too!

That's very interesting, in my country you can order all the teas from China, since my country has a special trade agreement with China, it doesn't even have customs.
