A little about GABA

GABA is the abbreviation for gamma-aminobutyric acid, an amino acid that is one of the most important neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. By adding an additional step of fermenting the oolong tea in an oxygen-free and nitrogen-rich environment for less than 30 hours, the GABA element in the tea is increased.

Gaba tea was an invention of the Japanese. But the Gaba tea made from Japanese tea leaves is quite astringent. Nowadays, more Gaba tea is produced in Taiwan because when made from Taiwanese high mountain tea, the astringency is much less and the tea is much smoother and more delicious.
