Classic Taiwanese Gaba Oolong, rolled into spheres and lightly-roasted. Harvested in the high mountain Ali Shan tea region from Qing Xin bushes. This Gaba Oolong has a low degree of fermentation and is close to classic green Taiwanese oolongs. However, it also has distinctive flavor notes typical of GABA teas (slight acidity and baked notes). In the late 1980s Japanese specialists 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: sweet, floral-creamy. Flavor: fresh and floral, sweet with a pleasant bitterness. Bright and rich flavor. Effect: refreshing and relaxing, gently concentrating. Harvest: winter (Oct-Nov) 2025
