In China, pearl tea is called ‘zhūchá’, which literally means ‘pearl tea’. It is alleged that its English name comes from a British port clerk who once described the pre-cooked appearance of this tea that literally looked like gunpowder.

However, there are other lesser-known theories related to the name of tea, such as ‘fresh brewed’ derived from Mandarin. In the correct dialect, the phrase ‘fresh brewed’ sounds like the English word "gunpowder."

Whether there is the truth behind these stories is a subject full of controversy. However, the name has remained the same for centuries, although there is still a mysterious veil of mystery so far!
