Description:
Experience the uniqueness of GABA tea with our organic GABA Oolong from the mountain tea gardens of Nantou County, Taiwan. This exceptional oolong naturally contains 279 mg of GABA per 100g. This is nearly double the 150mg standard that defines authentic GABA tea.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter naturally produced in the human brain that helps reduce over stimulation, promoting calmness and mental clarity. Our GABA Oolong has a smooth, fruity complex flavour and is lightly roasted.
How GABA tea was discovered:
GABA tea was first discovered in Japan in the 1980s when researchers found that processing tea leaves in a nitrogen-rich environment naturally increased their GABA content. While pioneered in Japan, Taiwan has become the leading producer of GABA teas due to the ideal mountain climate and skilled oolong tea roasters creating the world's finest.
