GABA Oolong Alishan Classic

A classic Taiwanese GABA oolong with a spherical roll and medium roasting level. Harvested from Qing Xin cultivar bushes in the Alishan tea region, at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters.

History

In the late 1980s, the Japanese developed a technique to process tea leaves without oxygen, enabling them to produce tea with increased GABA content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) helps improve focus and productivity, slightly lowers blood pressure, relaxes, and relieves tension.

Aroma

Soft, rich, fruity-berry with a slight bready note.

Taste

Soft, juicy, warm, bready, with dried fruit tones and a bright berry tang in a juicy aftertaste.

Effects

Notably relaxing and meditative, yet gently focusing and concentrating.

Harvest

GABA Content

Approximately 150 mg/100g.
