Oops.. I only had looked at several green teas as I cannot stomach
black tea. I don't know what the oxidation process releases from the
tea but it causes me to have bad headaches and intestinal distress.
(Which is why I never drank much tea until i tried some green tea and
had no problems.. I didn't know it was the same plant until later or I
probably wouldn't have touched it.)

The pictures for the decaffeinated green tea I bought, and the jasmine
green tea I was looking at don't enlarge when you click them. That's
why I was confused The gunpowder, however, looking at it now,
appears to be the size of my head.
