Can you ID this tea?

Made from leaves that have not been oxidized.

Can you ID this tea?

A lady at work brought back tea from China for me, it was made by these folks : here and
here. The stuff I was given is found in the second link.

Has anyone had it before?

Thanks folks.

Since the tin is green(?), and it is Chinese, and it looks like gunpowder, it is quite likely gunpowder. Seriously, a lot of tea in Chinese tins is one kind of gunpowder or another. I have several Chinese tins with gunpowder in them (since 1999 :roll: ).

It's cheap that for sure. Little flavour.

It tastes very light and smells like rose petals...
