I received my tea today. The pinhead gunpowder is markedly smaller
than the Extra Gunpowder that I already have, it also tastes much
better. The CO2 decaffeinated tea I purchased has an odd smell to it,
almost like fresh cut grass. However, it does not brew green, but
rather almost the color of black tea. I care for it much less. I
don't know of any way to tell if it's really CO2 decaffeinated or not.
