Fulfilled by our friends at Tea and Whisk

This exquisite GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) Oolong tea originates from Nantou, Taiwan, a region rich in tea culture. The unique processing method, introduced by the Japanese in 1984, involves flushing the leaves with nitrogen during oxidation, resulting in a tea that captivates with its distinct flavor profile and remarkable health benefits.

GABA Oolong has gained immense popularity among tea enthusiasts worldwide, thanks to its multitude of advantages. Not only does it possess calming properties that help alleviate anxiety and improve mood, but it has also been recognized for its potential in reducing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and even serving as a complementary treatment for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

To enhance GABA levels in tea leaves, a meticulously crafted multi-step process is employed. Firstly, after withering and carefully selecting the finest tea leaves, they are placed in an oxygen-deprived setting to create the perfect conditions. This can be achieved through methods such as vacuum sealing, which ensures minimal oxygen exposure. By reducing oxygen, the tea leaves intricately undergo a significant conversion, as their natural glutamic acid gradually transforms into the desired GABA.

Next, within this oxygen-deprived environment, a remarkable transformation takes place. The anaerobic fermentation process is initiated, driven by the absence of oxygen. It is during this crucial phase that not only does the GABA content intensify, but the very flavor profile of the tea is also gracefully altered. This intricate fermentation process, meticulously monitored and controlled, plays a pivotal role in elevating the desired qualities of the tea to new heights.

Finally, when the target GABA levels are skillfully achieved, the fermentation process is thoughtfully halted to preserve the tea's extraordinary characteristics. This is accomplished by fixing or heating the tea leaves, typically utilizing the sophisticated technique of high-temperature pan-firing. This meticulous step ensures the preservation of the carefully developed GABA levels while imparting a delightful aroma and locking in the refined flavors that make each cup of GABA tea truly remarkable.

Through this intricate and time-honored process, tea enthusiasts are able to experience the unique richness, enhanced flavor profile, and the exceptional potential health benefits offered by GABA tea.Indulge in the comforting and soothing experience of GABA Oolong, as you explore the world of tea and embrace its wondrous effects on mind, body, and soul.
