Gaba Oolong #5

Gaba Oolong #5 – Wholesale Taiwanese High-Mountain GABA Tea

Gaba Oolong #5 is a high-mountain oolong from Taiwan produced with a specialized oxygen-free oxidation method that was developed and refined in Japan to raise the tea's natural GABA content. GABA, or gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a compound known for its calming effect on the nervous system. It is a distinctive specialty tea for retailers and tea bars looking for a relaxing, story-rich oolong.

Tea leaves naturally contain glutamic acid. Japanese tea specialists found that shading the plants for roughly two weeks before harvest increases this amino acid in the leaf. During processing, oxygen is then replaced with nitrogen, which converts the glutamic acid into GABA. The result is a tea with a naturally relaxing character and a deep, sweet, fruity cup. It opens with a rich ripe-fruit aroma, pours a brilliant amber-gold liquor, and tastes of fresh roasted sweet potato before finishing on florals and stone fruit.
