It was shaped like this from the beginning mainly for the resulting compact shape and ease of transport. More

Positives- Very good price for the quality, it just has a peculiar taste that might require some more experience drinking tea in order to appreciate
Negatives- Becomes bitter too fast (supposedly it's normal for it to be a bit bitter even if you know how to brew it)
From Zhejiang to Marrakech: The Tea Route That Shaped Two Cultures
From misty Zhejiang mornings to sunlit Moroccan afternoons, from rolling drums to silver teapots — Gunpowder Green Tea has become more than a product. It is a traveler, a storyteller, a bridge between distant worlds. And the next time you see those tiny green pellets, remember: Each one carries the memory of its long road, the people who shaped it, and the cultures it helped bring together.
