GABA Li Shan

Taiwanese Gaba Oolong, grown in the Li Shan tea estate at high altitudes up to 2200 m. This noble Gaba features an authentic flavor profile.

In the late 1980s, Japanese producers developed a technique for processing tea leaves without oxygen, resulting in tea with increased GABA content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) enhances concentration and productivity, slightly lowers blood pressure, relaxes, and alleviates tension.

Aroma: Bright, sweet, with distinct jammy, berry, and sweet-tart notes.

Flavor: Juicy, oily, compote-like, refreshing, slightly resinous, with fruity-berry and pastry-honey undertones.

Effects: Relaxing and meditative, yet gently uplifting and concentrating.

Harvest: 2024.
