OK, I admit that green tea has never really been my, err, cup of tea, but I tried a Gunpowder Green and i really love it. none of the grassyness that i don't particularly care for. it's got a deep earthy slightly smokey flavor, exactly what i like. a lot like some of the Whites and Oolongs that i love so.
So my question is this, what other greens are similar in style to the Gunpowder stuff?

If you are a fan of smoky, I'd suggest lapsang souchong, but be warned... there's nothing subtle about this tea's smokiness.
Also, if you like green teas but don't like the grassy taste, i'd suggest picking up a sample tin of hojicha. It's a roasted green tea that's my personal favorite.

ahh yes, the tea that SMELLS LIKE GUNPOWDER! 
yes. i've had the ole lapsang souchong a few times. it's ok. don't love it, don't hate it. it's a bit TOO STRONG. i do like the pu-erh's but i was really looking for some greens that were not as grassy as some of the ones i've had. i'll look into the hojicha you suggested. thanks.
