Last spring we introduced this tea as the world’s first commercialized GABA tea produced from Red Jade TRES-18 tea cultivar. Early adopters have quickly proven that this tea is here to stay because it’s good! We had to wait until this spring for Mr. Wu to make a new production. Here it is!
GABA Tea is one of a rare bread of teas that was initially developed for its purported health benefits. If you are not familiar with this aspect, check out the info tab. Now that this is said, we need to admit that the best thing about GABA tea is that it is wonderfully good in the cup! The special, oxygen-deprived environment that leaves are submitted to increases the content of GABA while slowly oxidizing them. This also smoothes out the tannins leaving a crisp tart fruity taste that is quite apealing. This unique production using organically grown Red Jade T-18 cultivar is very different tasting than our GABA oolong and our classic Red Jade Black Tea. It proposes the full bodied flavour of a Red jade Black tea with its fresh minty attack and tangy fruit compote finish that is both generous and refreshing. Just like it’s cousin, this GABA tea not only makes a beautiful hot beverage, it is fantastic as a refreshing iced tea!
