Gunpowder Green Tea Ginger Detox Tonic
Bold Gunpowder green tea meets fresh ginger, lemon, and raw honey in a warming detox tonic that kickstarts digestion and sharpens focus.
Gunpowder green tea is one of the most antioxidant-rich green teas thanks to its tightly rolled leaves, which preserve freshness and potency. Paired with fresh ginger, it becomes a powerhouse digestive tonic with a bold, invigorating flavor.
The ginger adds its own anti-inflammatory and nausea-fighting properties, while the tea's natural caffeine provides a clean, sustained energy boost without the jitters of coffee.
Brew the Gunpowder at 80°C for exactly 2 minutes—these pellets are dense and can turn bitter fast if over-steeped. The result should taste bold and slightly smoky, never harsh.
Drink this in the morning on an empty stomach or 30 minutes after a heavy meal. The combination of green tea catechins and ginger's gingerols works synergistically to support metabolism and reduce bloating.
