OOLONG TEA: Gaba oolong, Taiwan
GABA Oolong
Oolong tea, Taiwan
Flavour: toffee, nut, butterscotch, sweet potato ~ light-bodied
GABA teas have a high concentration of gamma-aminobutyric acid which is said to help reduce anxiety and stress and induce calm. The GABA content also creates a baked sweet potato-like flavour, quite unique to other oolongs. This 2021 Spring harvest GABA has the signature sweet potato flavour alongside notes of toffee, butterscotch, honey and nut. This is a light-bodied, sweet, soothing tea.
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.
