Ate Too Much? Green Tea is Here to Apologize to Your Stomach

We’ve all been there. You went out for dim sum. Or a burrito. Or "just one more slice" of pizza. Now you're sitting on the couch, unbuttoning your pants, contemplating your life choices.

Don't reach for the chalky pink medicine. Reach for the kettle.

The "Grease Cutter"

In many Asian cultures, drinking strong Green Tea or Pu-erh with a greasy meal isn't just tradition—it's functional. Green tea, especially robust varieties like our Gun Powder Green Tea, is packed with polyphenols and catechins that help your body metabolize fats.

Think of Gun Powder tea as a power-washer for your digestive system. Its slightly astringent, bold character cuts through the rich, oily coating in your mouth and stomach.

Why Gun Powder?

Delicate green teas are great for meditation. But when you need to digest a feast, you want a tea with some backbone. Gun Powder tea is rolled into tight pellets that explode (hence the name) with flavor and strength.

• Caffeine: Just enough to keep you from falling into a food coma.
• Astringency: That dry feeling on your tongue? That’s the tannins working to cleanse your palate.
• Heat: Warm liquid aids digestion physically by keeping things moving.

Next time you overindulge, brew a strong cup of Gun Powder. Steep it for 3 minutes. Drink it hot. You'll feel human again in no time.
