Description
Gaba Oolong – Calming, Fruity Taiwanese High-Mountain OolongHigh Mountain GABA Oolong is a beautifully smooth and fruity Taiwanese oolong crafted for both drinking pleasure and a naturally calming tea experience. It's grown in ShiBi, Yunlin County, Taiwan, at around 1, 200–1, 300 meters, and made from the prized Chin Xin cultivar, hand-picked from high-mountain tea gardens. GABA tea was originally developed through Japanese tea research as a special processing method to increase the natural content of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a compound associated with relaxation. During production, the leaves are oxidized in a carefully controlled, oxygen-free vacuum chamber, which encourages GABA development while softening the tannins. The medium-brown rolled leaves are then finished with a light baking, adding gentle warmth and balance. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItGenerous, refreshing and easy to enjoy, High Mountain GABA Oolong is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a soothing daily tea with a lively, fruit-forward profile. Its naturally calming character makes it perfect for unwinding after a busy day.
How to EnjoyGABA Oolong is delicious hot and also makes an excellent iced tea, where its bright fruity notes become especially refreshing. Enjoy it gongfu-style for multiple infusions, or brew a pot to share in the afternoon or evening. Smooth, fruity and gently calming, GABA Oolong is a soothing treasure from Taiwan's high mountains. |

A little steeping tipSweet and mellow. Re-steep 3–4 times.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
