We are the first supplier to bring GABA Pu’er to the U.S.! GABA enriched tea is associated with oolong, but we have sourced a singular producer who makes GABA Pu’er, an extremely rare tea which is hard to find even in Yunnan.
To produce this tea, we chose high-quality raw material: the leaves of ancient tea trees, those aged over a hundred years, growing in the mountainous region of Menghai.
In terms of taste, you can discern a note of camphor wood, with a subtle sweet undertone of dates and refreshing hints characteristic of GABA tea. This tea not only meets high standards but also introduces a unique flavor profile, making it a distinctive and memorable choice for tea enthusiasts.
In the 1980s, tea growers in Japan developed special GABA-enriched/fortified teas, known simply as GABA teas, through an oxygen-free fermentation process. These enriched teas contain 800% as much GABA as a regular cup of oolong tea. Several studies tested GABA oolong teas, in particular, with an Australian study concluding that its consumption led to a significant decrease in the immediate stress score and a significant improvement in heart rate variability, concluding that “even a very small amount of GABA-fortified oolong tea leads to a significant effect on acute stress levels reflected by the improved HRV measures” (Hinton et al, 2019).
This tea has a lower caffeine level, less than half of a cup of coffee, which makes it a great choice for drinking late into the day.
Packaged in resealable 50g packet.
