Gaba Ali Shan Classic

Classic Taiwanese Gaba Oolong, rolled into spheres and medium-roasted. Harvested in the Ali Shan tea region from Qing Xin bushes at an elevation of about 1500 m.

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: Soft, rich, with fruity and berry notes, and a hint of bread.

Flavor: Soft, juicy, warm, with bread and dried fruit notes, featuring a bright berry tartness in the refreshing aftertaste.

Effects: Clearly relaxing and meditative, yet gently uplifting and concentrating.

Harvest: 2023.
