Alishan GABA Oolong

High Mountain Milk Oolong turned processed into a GABA oolong anyone? This rare tea from our new partner farm in the Alishan area is a real treat. Creamy, rich fruit leather and sweet black raisins are the dominant flavor for this tea that has quite a high concentration of GABA. If you enjoy the feeling that GABA tea gives you, you will enjoy this one!

GABA

This is an absolutely wonderful tea. I purchased a hefty amount of it, prior to trying it, but it was well worth it. Strong notes of oatmeal cookies and raisins.

Amazingness

I got this as a free sample with an order. I was blown away from the moment I smelled the fruitiness of the warmed dry leaves in my gaiwan. Dont tell Don but I prefer this over the Amber gaba.

Delicious

One of my favorite teas both for the flavor and the GABA content. A soft taste of sweetness with a really pleasant savory/lighly sour flavor from the GABA processing. Really big hit when sharing and the one I almost always find myself reaching for.

Creaminess

This tea is creamy and leaves a feeling and aftertaste in the mouth like a cream-caramel sweet. When describing raisins, I expected a "heavy" sweetness, but it is a pleasantly integrated sweetness.
