What is GABA tea?
The Japanese are to thank for the discovery of GABA. In particular DR. Tsushima Tojiro, who in 1984 discovered that anaerobic conditions encourage the conversion of glutamate to GABA. Basically DR. Tsushima and his group of researchers at the National Institute of Tea (sounds like a great place to us) produced a new type of tea.
GABA stands for (prepare yourself for some long words) gamma-aminobuytric acid. GABA is a chemical messenger or neurotransmitter (yes tea is that cool) that naturally occurs in the brain and helps ensure that information reaching your brain is fast and effective. We definitely need some assistance with that every now and again!

I was very surprised to find noticeable effects from this tea! Not only is it delicious, but there is a significant amount of anxiety/stress reduction without feeling drowsy. I always keep some on hand for those rough days at work.
