GABA Oolong

A Distinctive Taiwanese Tea

Discover GABA Oolong, a beautifully smooth Taiwanese oolong tea from the high-altitude tea gardens of Nantou, Taiwan.

What makes this speciality tea different is its unique processing method, which naturally increases the levels of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), a compound found in tea leaves.

Carefully hand-picked & processed, GABA Oolong brings together traditional Taiwanese tea craftsmanship with an innovative approach to tea production. The result is a distinctive oolong with a delicate floral aroma, gentle sweetness & a wonderfully creamy finish.

What Does GABA Oolong Taste Like?

Expect a smooth, rich oolong tea with delicate floral notes, subtle sweetness & a soft, creamy finish.

Its rounded character makes it a lovely choice for anyone exploring Taiwanese oolong teas or looking for something a little different from traditional green & black teas.

What Makes GABA Oolong Special?

Unlike conventional oolong tea, GABA Oolong undergoes a special oxygen-free processing stage, known as anaerobic fermentation.

During this process, the tea leaves are placed in an oxygen-free environment, often using nitrogen-rich chambers. This encourages the natural conversion of glutamic acid, an amino acid already present in tea leaves, into Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA).

GABA is also a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the human body, where it plays a role in regulating nerve signalling. However, the presence of GABA in tea does not establish that drinking it produces the same effects.

The distinctive processing method & resulting flavour make GABA Oolong an intriguing addition to the world of speciality tea.

A Taiwanese Oolong Worth Discovering

With its delicate floral character, smooth texture & unusual production method, GABA Oolong is a tea worth taking a little time over.

Enjoy it when you fancy a quieter tea break, or simply want to explore the fascinating variety of flavours & craftsmanship found in Taiwanese teas.
