The name "gunpowder" refers to the way the tea looks, it has a granular, grayish appearance, much like gunpowder.
Loose tea is generally a bit cheaper than tea bags. 1 pound of tea can make 200 cups, so an "expensive" tea that costs $100 a pound is really just 50 cents a cup. And with some green, white, and puerh varieties you can reuse the leaves to make even more tea.
