OOLONG TEA: Gaba oolong 2025, Taiwan

GABA Oolong
Oolong tea, Taiwan

Flavour: sweet potato, brown sugar, baked fruit ~ light bodied
Harvested in April 2025 these leaves were grown at an elevation of 1450m in ShanLin Xi, Nantou Country, Taiwan. They infuse into a sweet, comforting tea with  notes of baked sweet potato, brown sugar and baked stone fruit.

GABA teas have a high concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid which is said to help reduce anxiety and induce calm. This creates a baked sweet potato-like flavour, unique to GABA oolongs.

The Wang Family has been involved in Taiwanese tea for many generations. The company is now run by brother and sister duo Joshua and Ivy Wang, who have a passion for sustainable and environmentally friendly practices and sharing the best tea that Taiwan has to offer.

- book a Zoom chat with Anna - email her here. 
- or, include a sample size pouch of this tea in our Tea Sampler Box.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 90°. Two infusions. 

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.
