GABA Oolong Tea is a tea variety typical of Taiwan, obtained through a special processing of the leaves in an oxygen-free environment. In our offer you will find two other products of this type (Organic Oolong Gaba and Ruby Oolong Gaba), which contain more information about the benefits of the GABA molecule, of which these leaves are rich, and all the details about the tea-making steps. There are two reasons why we suggest another version of this oolong. First, it comes from this spring's harvest and can therefore have a flavour profile marked by greater freshness and aroma. Second, it is cooked a little less intensely than the others, which has a significant impact on the taste of the drink. The flavour profile of this tea is especially distinguished by the way it brings out its aroma during tasting. Unlike the other two Gaba oolongs, this one reveals a sweet taste from the very beginning that overshadows the roasting and the typical aroma of the GABA molecule. The sweetness of this infusion is very reminiscent of a tropical fruit such as mango and is accompanied by a light fresh vegetal note. After this initial impression, the drink tends to give a warmer feeling in the mouth, first revealing a flavour similar to unprocessed cocoa, followed by some hints of wood. Compared with the other oolongs, this is certainly the one with the least intense spicy notes. To understand this better, we invite you to try all three products in our range, so that you can have a direct comparison and discover all the flavour characteristics of this special tea from Taiwan. Place of origin: Taiwan. Production: After harvesting, the leaves wither in the sun for a short time, followed by a resting phase on bamboo trays under cover. From here, oxidation is started by a manual massage of the leaf by the tea master, who then keeps the leaves covered while they oxidise and brings them into contact with the air as little as possible, in order to boost GABA production in the leaves. Once the tea reaches the desired oxidation level (about 40%), the leaves are placed in a charcoal-heated oven, where enzyme activity is stopped. After this oven phase, the leaf is given its rolled shape either with a special machine or by hand, and once the tea is dried, it can be drunk. Preparation: We strongly recommend brewing this tea using the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) in order to fully enjoy these leaves. With this preparation, 5 grams of leaves (about 3 teaspoons) can be used in a 150 ml gaiwan to obtain several infusions with different flavours. After briefly rinsing the leaves in 90 °C water, you can start with a first infusion of 40 seconds. Then you can keep the water at the same temperature and increase the time by 10 seconds each time compared with the previous infusion (40 - 50 - 60 ...). This tea lasts for about 7 infusions. For a classic Western-style preparation, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 200 ml cup with 90 °C water for a steeping time of 3 minutes. The steeping times given above are only guidelines and can be adjusted to your personal taste. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
