Gaba Oolong from Taiwan is a special type of dark oolong tea made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush grown on the island's high-altitude plantations. The main difference between this tea and other oolongs is a specific processing method: the tea leaves are aged in an oxygen-free environment, which almost doubles the content of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the finished product.
The raw materials from Alishan Mountain, one of the most famous tea regions in Taiwan, are taken as the basis. Tea connoisseurs are well acquainted with the quality of Alishan leaves: the high altitude, clean mountain climate and traditional agriculture create raw materials with rich flavor potential. It is this potential that is revealed particularly clearly in Gaba Oolong.
Brewed Gaba Oolong has a complex and at the same time harmonious profile. In the first sip, a warm fruity sweetness is felt, which gradually turns into a honey shade. The aroma resembles a toasted bread crust with notes of ripe berries and a flowering mountain slope. Berry sourness is present, but does not dominate - it only adds liveliness to the drink.
The taste is soft, velvety, without sharp astringency. The tea is drinkable and does not burden even with frequent brewing throughout the day. The aftertaste is long, sweet, with a slight herbal undertone. Buyers who have already tried this oolong note a warm aroma and a deep, soft taste without unpleasant viscosity.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It calms overexcited nerve endings, helping to maintain calm and concentration during times of stress. That is why Gaba Oolong is traditionally consumed both during the day - for concentration, and in the evening - for relaxation.
The chemical effect of this amino acid on the human body has been studied for over half a century, but has not been fully understood. It is known that due to the oxygen-free processing of the leaves, the content of GABA in Gaba oolong is significantly higher than in ordinary oolongs. In addition, the tea has a positive effect on digestion and strengthens the walls of blood vessels - this is confirmed by the practical experience of consumers and data from manufacturers.

For classic brewing using the infusion method, prepare the following parameters:
Procedure: heat water to desired temperature, rinse tea leaves, pour and let steep. Be sure to stir the tea before pouring to evenly distribute the flavor and aroma. The pouring method is also suitable for this oolong - in this case, the first pouring is short, the subsequent ones gradually lengthen.
After opening the package, store the tea in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. An airtight container at room temperature is best. Following these conditions allows you to preserve the aroma and taste of the tea for a long time.
Taiwan is one of the most prominent tea regions in Asia. The island is known primarily for its oolong and red teas. Among the most popular Taiwanese varieties are Dong Fan Mei Ren, Tie Guan Yin, Milk Oolong, Dong Ding, Alishan Lao Cha, Gaba and Red Oolong. Each of them reflects the unique climatic conditions and traditions of a particular mountain range.
Alishan, where the raw materials for this Gaba Oolong come from, is located at an altitude of over a thousand meters above sea level. The fog, cool nights and fertile soils create leaves with a rich chemical composition and a distinct aromatic profile. This is why Alishan Oolong is prized by tea connoisseurs around the world.
Gaba Oolong from Taiwan is suitable for those looking for a tea with a soft but deep taste without a sharp astringency. It is equally well suited for daytime use - when you need concentration, and for evening use - when you want to relax after a busy day. The tea is recommended for both those who are just starting to get acquainted with dark oolongs, and experienced connoisseurs who want to expand their collection of Taiwanese varieties.
The 50 gram package is convenient for getting to know the variety or as a gift for a connoisseur of quality tea. Delivery across Ukraine.
