Organic Gaba oolong

Organic GABA Oolong

Organic, high-GABA oolong tea from Taiwan — with a calming effect.

Origin and processing

This GABA Oolong semi-fermented tea is made in a special way: the leaves are fermented in an oxygen-free, nitrogen-filled environment, which converts natural glutamic acid (Glu) into GABA . The technology was developed in Japan in 1984 and is now most commonly used in Taiwan to produce premium GABA teas.

Impact and quality

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, known for its calming effects. This tea is especially suitable for evening relaxation or calming down after stressful days. It comes from organic farming, from a reliable Taiwanese producer, directly purchased.
