GABA Oolong Li Shan

History

In the late 1980s, the Japanese developed a technology for processing tea leaves in an oxygen-free environment, allowing for the creation of tea with increased GABA content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) helps enhance focus and productivity, slightly lowers blood pressure, relaxes, and relieves tension.

Aroma

Bright and sweet, with distinct jam-like, berry, and sweet-sour notes.

Taste

Juicy, buttery, compote-like, refreshing, with a slight resinous hint, along with fruity, berry, and pastry-honey nuances.

Effects

Relaxing and meditative, yet gently focusing and concentrating.
