Gaba Oolong Suan Xiang Ruby "Berry", 50g

Taiwanese Gaba Oolong from Qing Xin bushes, grown in the highlands near Ali Shan. This interesting Gaba features an authentic flavor profile.

In the late 1980s, Japanese producers developed a processing technique that minimizes oxygen exposure, 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, with distinct jammy, berry, and sweet-tart notes.

Flavor: Juicy, compote-like, refreshing, with fruity-berry and pastry undertones.

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

Harvest: 2023.

GABA Content: Approximately 150 mg/100 g.

Brewing Instructions: Brew using infusion, steeping, or even cooking according to Lu Yu’s method. Preheat your teaware. For infusion, use 5 grams of tea per 100 ml of water; for steeping or cooking, use 1 gram per 100 ml of water. Try different methods to find your favorite!
