GABA tea was developed in the 1980s by the Central Research Institute of Tea and Industries at Osaka University in Japan.
To produce GABA tea, after the leaves are picked and allowed to wither under heat and humidity, the tea leaves are treated in a high nitrogen atmosphere for several hours, which promotes the formation of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid). Then, to stop the fermentation and oxidation processes, the tea leaves are dried. At higher drying temperatures, the tea leaves become darker, and at lower temperatures, the tea leaves retain their green color.
"Alishan Lu Gaba" (阿里山绿, ālǐshān lǜ, "Alishan Green") is a GABA tea from the Alishan Mountains, a spherical twisted oolong with a green leaf, light, brightly acidic.
Alishan Lu Gaba is a worthy oolong with a classic strong calming and concentrating effect, delicate taste and rich aroma.
The aroma is sweet and deep, milky with hints of wild flowers, ripe melon and vanilla. During tea drinking, Alishan Oolong Gaba reveals young apricot, plums, currant sourness. The taste is soft and multifaceted, combining floral and fruity shades with a refreshing creamy aftertaste. A great option for a smooth, refreshing tea for the summer!
