Classic Taiwanese Gaba Oolong, rolled into spheres and medium-roasted. Harvested in the Ali Shan tea region from Qing Xin bushes at an elevation of about 1500 m.
In the late 1980s, Japanese producers developed a processing technique that minimizes oxygen exposure, allowing for tea with increased GABA content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enhances concentration and productivity, slightly lowers blood pressure, relaxes, and alleviates tension.
Aroma: Soft, rich, with fruity and berry notes, and a hint of bread.
Flavor: Soft, juicy, warm, with bread and dried fruit notes, featuring a bright berry tartness in the refreshing aftertaste.
Effects: Clearly relaxing and meditative, yet gently uplifting and concentrating.
Harvest: 2024.
GABA Content: Approximately 150 mg/100 g.

Let customers speak for us
The tea was truly delightful. Its aroma at first reminds me of sunflower, then a gentle sweetness arrives, followed by a soft, warming sensation that carries you into open meadows. Thoughts and worries drift away like distant clouds, restoring balance, and with each infusion the leaves give more than I expected. I recommend it — it soothes the body and supports digestion after a meal.
I think this tea is the most “green” tasting tea for the budget. If you want someone to get introduced to proper green teas (e.g. show that they are killing any green it when pouring hard boiled water), this would be the perfect tea to do so
It is not usual to see tea leaves of green tea to be **that** flat, but other than that — no issues
Great green tea with a hint of lilac aftertaste
Pure flowers! Orchid blossom! Drinks very easily and tasty!
very fast delivery! Bravo
I recommend this genuine black tea to all tea lovers. It's similar to shu puerh, but has a more woody and earthy character.
Интересный темный улун. Я для себя определить что именнов нем меня больше привлекает. Наверное какой-то особый баланс вкусовой гаммы и насыщенности вкуса.
One of my favorite gaba. Fruity, refreshing well enough. I even making it cold brew!
The best GABA I have ever tried. I recommend everyone try this tea even you drink coffee or something other. You will enjoy this drink. It’s like paradise but in your cup
