Founded in 1867 in Saint-Petersburg, Kusmi Teas are faithful to the spirit of the firm P.M Kousmichoff, supplier of the tsars of ancient Russia. In 1917 when the Revolution started in Russia, anticipating a disaster, the eldest Kusmichoff son transferred a part of his fortune to the London office and then created the Kusmi Tea company in France, based in Paris at 75 avenue Niel, where the company still has its workshop and boutique.

Kousmichoff has been carrying on the same tradition of serving connoisseurs and gourmets, combining discerning taste and creativity. Well known for their superb flavor and smootheness, they are distributed throughout the world in the most fashionable and exclusive places. Kusmi teas share all the complexity and subtlety of ancient Russia.

Kusmi's selection of Green Teas is based on flowers, leaves or fruits which are heated at temperature at 100°C immediately after picking to avoid fermentation.

Gunpowder Green Tea is China tea leaves rolled into small balls.

Each tin contains 4.4 ounces net weight of Gunpowder Green Loose Tea blend by Kusmi Tea from France.
